Abstract

We construct a functor which maps conjugate pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of a surface to the so-called stably isomorphic stationary AF-algebras; the functor gives new topological invariants of three dimensional manifolds coming from the known invariants of the AF-algebras. The main invariant is a triple (L, [I], K), where L is an integral order in the real number field K and [I] the equivalence class of ideals in L.
