چکیده

We prove that, in the l-ball of the Cayley graph of the braid group with n > 3 strands, the proportion of rigid pseudo-Anosov braids is bounded below independently of l by a positive value.

On the Genericity of Pseudo-anosov Braids Ii: Conjugations to Rigid Braids

We prove that generic elements of braid groups are pseudo-Anosov, in the following sense: in the Cayley graph of the braid group with n > 3 strands, with respect to Garside’s generating set, we prove that the proportion of pseudo-Anosov braids in the ball of radius l tends to 1 exponentially quickly as l tends to infinity. Moreover, with a similar notion of genericity, we prove that for generic...

An asymptotic behavior of the dilatation for a family of pseudo-Anosov braids

The dilatation of a pseudo-Anosov braid is a conjugacy invariant. In this paper, we study the dilatation of a special family of pseudo-Anosov braids. We prove an inductive formula to compute their dilatation, a monotonicity and an asymptotic behavior of the dilatation for this family of braids. We also give an example of a family of pseudo-Anosov braids with arbitrarily small dilatation such th...

Given two pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with distinct invariant measured foliations, some powers of their isotopy classes generate a rank two free subgroup of the mapping class group of the surface [6]. This construction gives an example of all pseudo-Anosov subgroup of the mapping class group. Whittlesey [13] gives a positive answer to the natural question of the existence of all pseudo-Anosov ...
