asymptotic behavior of minimum dilatations on punctured surfaces

Let $l_{g,n}$ be the logarithm of minimum dilatation for pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms on surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. Let $n$ be fixed and $g$ varies. Is the asymptotic behavior of $l_{g,n …

lower bound for Perron-Frobenius degree of a Perron number

A Perron number is an algebraic number which is greater than one in absolute value and is greater than all of its Galois conjugates in absolute value as well. Lind's theorem states that any Perron num …

Topology of the space of foliations on a 3-manifold

Denote by $\mathcal{P} (M)$ the space of smooth plane fields(oriented and transversely oriented) on a given closed and orientable 3-manifold $M$ with the $C^{\infty}$ topology, and by $\mathcal{F}(M)$ …

Finiteness properties of mapping class groups

Question: Is it known if the mapping class groups (of surfaces of finite type) are similar to Gromov-hyperbolic groups in the following senses: 1) Does every finite generating set give us a finite p …

generators for the handlebody group of genus two

Is the handlebody group of genus two surface generated by Dehn twists along properly embedded disks and annuli? Are there alternative ways to describe a set of generators that are conceptually simple …

index of the subgroup of the mapping class group acting trivially on Z/3Z homology

Let $S=S_g$ be the closed orientable surface of genus $g$ and let $\Gamma_3(S)$ be the subgroup of the mapping class group, $Mod(S)$, which acts trivially on $H_1(S;\mathbb{Z/3\mathbb{Z}})$. Define $\ …

Software for computing Thurston's unit ball

Is there any software which can be used for computing Thurston's unit ball (for second homology of 3-manifolds) of link complements? In particular can I do that with SnapPy? PS: even a table for Thurs …
