We present a simple method to compute the Teichm\"uller polynomial of the fibered face of a hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M_\phi$ obtained as the mapping torus of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism $\phi$ of a closed surface. We assume $\phi$ has…

We study the behavior of hyperbolic affine automorphisms of a translation surface which is infinite in area and genus that is obtained as a limit of surfaces built from regular polygons studied by Veech. We find that hyperbolic affine…

The Teichmueller polynomial of a fibered 3-manifold plays a useful role in the construction of mapping class having small stretch factor. We provide an algorithm that computes this polynomial of the fibered face associated to a…

Let S be an orientable surface with negative Euler characteristic, let \psi\in\Mod(S) be a mapping class of S, and let T_{\psi} be the mapping torus of \psi. We study the action of lifts of \psi on the homology of finite covers of S via the…

We determine which closed orientable $3$-manifolds $M$ admit a self-homeomorphism restricting to a pseudo-Anosov map on an incompressible subsurface $\Sigma$, which we call a pseudo-Anosov surface. When $M$ is irreducible, we show that the…

We discuss how the global geometry and topology of manifolds depend on different group actions of their fundamental groups, and in particular, how properties of a non-trivial compact 4-dimensional cobordism $M$ whose interior has a complete…

The main result of this paper is a universal finiteness theorem for the set of all small dilatation pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms, ranging over all surfaces. More precisely, we consider pseudo-Anosovs F:S to S with |chi(S)| log(lambda(F))…

This paper extends the decorated Teichm\"uller theory developed before for punctured surfaces to the setting of ``bordered'' surfaces, i.e., surfaces with boundary, and there is non-trivial new structure discovered. The main new result…

Unlike the case of surfaces of topologically finite type, there are several different Teichm\"uller spaces that are associated to a surface of topological infinite type. These Teichm\"uller spaces first depend (set-theoretically) on whether…

In their precedent work, the authors constructed closed oriented hyperbolic surfaces with pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms from certain class of integral matrices. In this paper, we present a very simple algorithm to compute the Teichmueller…

In a previous paper by Deroin-Tholozan, the authors construct a map $\mathbf{\Psi}_\rho$ from the Teichm\"uller space of $S$ to itself and prove that, when $M$ has sectional curvature $\leq -1$, the image of $\mathbf{\Psi}_\rho$ lies…

We prove that the Teichm\"uller space of the Hirsch foliation (a minimal foliation of a closed 3-manifold by non-compact hyperbolic surfaces) is homeomorphic to the space of closed curves in the plane. This allows us to show that that the…

We show that automorphism groups of Hopf and Kodaira surfaces have unbounded finite subgroups. For elliptic fibrations on Hopf, Kodaira, bielliptic, and K3 surfaces, we make some observations on finite groups acting along the fibers and on…

We show that finitely generated, purely pseudo-Anosov subgroups of the fundamental groups of surface bundles over tori are convex cocompact as subgroups of the mapping class group via the Birman exact sequence. This generalizes the fact…

We take a first step towards understanding the relationship between foliations and universally tight contact structures on hyperbolic 3-manifolds. If a surface bundle over a circle has pseudo-Anosov holonomy, we obtain a classification of…

We investigate the representation theory of the polynomial core of the quantum Teichmuller space of a punctured surface S. This is a purely algebraic object, closely related to the combinatorics of the simplicial complex of ideal cell…

We show that any element of the universal Teichm\"uller space is realized by a unique minimal Lagrangian diffeomorphism from the hyperbolic plane to itself. The proof uses maximal surfaces in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. We show…

We prove the existence of finite groups of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of some closed orientable surface $S$ that act freely and which extends as a group of homeomorphisms of some compact orientable $3$-manifold with boundary $S$,…

Trinomial hypersurfaces form a natural class of affine algebraic varieties closely connected with varieties admitting a torus action of complexity one. We investigate orbits of the automorphism group on these hypersurfaces. We prove that…

For each surface $S$ of genus $g>2$ we construct pairs of conjugate pseudo-Anosov maps, $\varphi_1$ and $\varphi_2$, and two non-equivalent covers $p_i: \tilde S \longrightarrow S$, $i=1,2$, so that the lift of $\varphi_1$ to $\tilde S$…
