Entropy vs volume for pseudo-Anosov maps

Geometric Topology 2008-12-17 v1 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

We will discuss theoretical and experimental results concerning comparison of entropy of pseudo-Anosov maps and volume of their mapping tori. Recent study of Weil-Petersson geometry of the Teichm\"uller space tells us that they admit linear inequalities for both sides under some bounded geometry condition. We construct a family of pseudo-Anosov maps which violates one side of inequalities under unbounded geometry setting, present an explicit bounding constant for a punctured torus, and provide several observations based on experiments.
