Abstract

We show that the integral filling volume of a Dehn twist ff on a closed oriented surface vanishes, i.e. that the integral simplicial volume of the mapping torus with monodromy fnf^n grows sublinearly with respect to nn. We deduce a complete characterization of mapping classes on surfaces with vanishing integral filling volume and, building on results by Purcell and Lackenby on the complexity of mapping tori, we show that, in dimension three, complexity and integral simplicial volume are not Lipschitz equivalent.

Comments

Section 4 from version 1 has been removed, since a better look at the literature allowed us to observe that integral simplicial volume is not finite-to-one in dimension bigger than 3. Other minor corrections have been performed. Accepted for publication in Groups, Geometry and Dynamics
