Masur's criterion does not hold in the Thurston metric

Geometric Topology 2022-08-31 v2

Abstract

We construct a counterexample for an analogue of Masur's criterion in the setting of Teichm\"uller space equipped with the Thurston metric. For that, we find a minimal, filling, non-uniquely ergodic lamination λ\lambda on the seven-times punctured sphere with uniformly bounded annular projection distances. Then we show that a geodesic in the corresponding Teichm\"uller space that converges to λ\lambda, stays in the thick part for the whole time.
