On the pullback relation on curves induced by a Thurston map

Dynamical Systems 2021-02-25 v1

Abstract

Via taking connected components of preimages, a Thurston map f:(S2,Pf)(S2,Pf)f: (S^2, P_f) \to (S^2, P_f) induces a pullback relation on the set of isotopy classes of curves in the complement of its postcritical set PfP_f. We survey known results about the dynamics of this relation, and pose some questions.
