Asymptotics for pseudo-Anosov elements in Teichmüller lattices
نویسنده
چکیده
A Teichmüller lattice is the orbit of a point in Teichmüller space under the action of the mapping class group. We show that the proportion of lattice points in a ball of radius r which are not pseudo-Anosov tends to zero as r tends to infinity. In fact, we show that if R is a subset of the mapping class group, whose elements have an upper bound on their translation length on the complex of curves, then proportion of lattice points in the ball of radius r which lie in R tends to zero as r tends to infinity. Subject code: 37E30, 20F65, 57M50.

The Number of Pseudo–anosov Elements in the Mapping Class Group of a Four–holed Sphere
We compute the growth series and the growth functions of reducible and pseudo–Anosov elements of the pure mapping class group of the sphere with four holes with respect to a certain generating set. We prove that the ratio of the number of pseudo–Anosov elements to that of all elements in a ball with center at the identity tends to one as the radius of the ball tends to infinity.
متن کاملThe lower central series and pseudo-Anosov dilatations
The theme of this paper is that algebraic complexity implies dynamical complexity for pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms of a closed surface Sg of genus g. Penner proved that the logarithm of the minimal dilatation for a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of Sg tends to zero at the rate 1/g. We consider here the smallest dilatation of any pseudoAnosov homeomorphism of Sg acting trivially on Γ/Γk, the quotie...
متن کاملOn Representations of Certain Pseudo-anosov Maps of Riemann Surfaces with Punctures
Let S be a Riemann surface of type (p, n) with 3p + n > 4 and n ≥ 1. Let α1, α2 ⊂ S be two simple closed geodesics such that {α1, α2} fills S. It was shown by Thurston that most maps obtained through Dehn twists along α1 and α2 are pseudo-Anosov. Let a be a puncture. In this paper, we study the family F(S, a) of pseudo-Anosov maps on S that projects to the trivial map as a is filled in, and sho...
متن کاملOn 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...
متن کاملSurface subgroups of Mapping Class groups
Mod(Σ) = Homeo(Σ)/Homeo0(Σ), where, Homeo(Σ) is the group of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of Σ and Homeo0(Σ) are those homeomorphisms isotopic to the identity. When Σ is a closed surface of genus g ≥ 1 then we denote Mod(Σ) by Γg. In this case it is well-known that Γg is isomorphic to a subgroup of index 2 in Out(π1(Σ)). When g = 1, the subgroup structure of Γ1 is well-understood since...
