Ideal Triangulations of Pseudo-Anosov Mapping Tori

Geometric Topology 2010-08-24 v2

Abstract

We show how to construct an ideal triangulation of a mapping torus of a pseudo-Anosov map punctured along the singular fibers. This gives rise to a new conjugacy invariant of mapping classes, and a new proof of a theorem of Farb-Leininger-Margalit. The approach in this paper is based on ideas of Hamenstadt.
