On eigen-structures for pseudoAnosov maps
Abstract
We investigate various structures associated with the hyperbolic Markov and homological spectra of a pseudoAnosov map on a surface. Each unstable eigenvalue of the action of on first cohomolgy yields an eigen-cocycle that is transverse and holonomy invariant to the stable foliation of . Each unstable eigenvalue of a Markov transition matrix for yields a holonomy invariant additive function on transverse arcs to with . Except when is the dilation of , these transverse arc functions do not yield measures, but rather holonomy invariant eigen-distributions which are dual to H\"older functions. Stable homological and Markov eigenvalues yield analogous transverse structures to the unstable foliation of . The main tool for working with the homological spectrum is the Franks-Shub Theorem which holds for a general manifold and map. For the Markov spectrum we use the correspondence of the leaf space of stable foliation with a one-sided subshift of finite type. This identification allows the symbolic analog of a transverse arc function to be defined, analyzed, and applied.
