Topological entropy and pseudo-Anosov dilatation for punctured surface

Let $S_{g,n}$ be a closed surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. Assume $2-2g-n<0$. Let $f$ be a pseudo-Anosov mapping class with dilatation $\lambda_f$. In the introduction (1st page) of the ...

Geometric intersection number for product of elements of the fundamental group

Let $F$ be a hyperbolic surface and $p\in F$ be a point. Consider $\pi_1(F,p)$, the fundamental group of $F$ with base point $p$. Let $x,y\in \pi_1(F,p)$ and $z$ be a simple closed curve in $F$ such ...

Pseudo-Anosov maps with same dilatation.

Let $S$ be a hyperbolic surface. Suppose $\mathcal{T}$ denotes the Teichmuller space of $S$ and $Mod(S)$ denotes the mapping class group of $S$. Given any pseudo-Anosov element $f\in Mod(S)$, suppose $...
