Free subgroups of surface mapping class groups

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v1 General Topology

Abstract

We quantify the generation of free subgroups of surface mapping class groups by pseudo-Anosov mapping classes in terms of their translation distance and the distance between their axes. Our methods make reference to \teichmuller space only.
