Ranks of mapping tori via the curve complex

Geometric Topology 2017-07-25 v2

Abstract

We show that if the monodromy of a 3-manifold M that fibers over the circle has large translation distance in the curve complex, then the rank of the fundamental group of M is 2g+1, where g is the genus of the fiber.
