We consider $f, h$ homeomorphims generating a faithful $BS(1,n)$-action on a closed surface $S$, that is, $h f h^{-1} = f^n$, for some $ n\geq 2$. According to \cite{GL}, after replacing $f$ by a suitable iterate if necessary, we can assume…

Let $BS(1,n)= \langle a,b : a b a ^{-1} = b ^n\rangle$ be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group for $n \geq 2$. We study representations of $BS(1, n)$ on the plane by orientation preserving homeomorphisms, assuming that $a$ acts as a linear…

Let $BS(1,n) =< a, b \ | \ aba^{-1} = b^n >$ be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group, where $ n\geq 2$. It is known that BS(1,n) is isomorphic to the group generated by the two affine maps of the real line: $f_0(x) = x + 1$ and $h_0(x) = nx…

Let $BS(1, n)=< a, b | aba^{-1} = b^n >$ be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group, where $ n\geq 2$. It is known that B(1, n) is isomorphic to the group generated by the two affine maps of the line : $f_0(x) = x + 1$ and $h_0(x) = nx $. The…

Following previous work, where representations of $BS(1,n)$ by planar orientation preserving homeomorphisms with linear diagonalizable conjugating element was studied, we consider the elliptic and parabolic cases. As an application, we…

We obtain restrictions on which groups can admit relatively Anosov representations into specified target Lie groups, by examining the topology of possible Bowditch boundaries and how they interact with the Anosov limit maps. For instance,…

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 introduce and study \emph{simple Anosov representations} of closed hyperbolic surface groups, analogous to Minsky's \emph{primitive stable representations} of free groups. We prove that the set of simple Anosov representations into…

We exhibit a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface S which acts trivially on the first homology group of S and whose flux is non zero

We give explicit pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi invariant. Any translation surface whose Veech group is commensurable to any of a large class of triangle groups is shown to have an affine pseudo-Anosov…

In this article, we study the fixed-point subgroups of the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $\BS(1,n)= \langle a, t \mid t a t^{-1} = a^{n} \rangle$, $n>1$ of automorphisms and endomorphisms. We also investigate the stabilizers of subgroups…

We construct for each conformal structure on a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2 a proper slice in the character variety of representations of the associated surface group into SL(3,R) that belongs to the Barbot component and…

The invariant measured foliations of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism induce a natural (singular) Sol structure on mapping tori of surfaces with pseudo-Anosov monodromy. We show that when the pseudo-Anosov $\phi:S\rightarrow S$ has orientable…

We prove that Anosov representations from a surface group to SL(3,R) are uniquely determined by their boundary maps if and only if they do not factor over a completely reducible representation. Furthermore we discuss representations not…

Let Gamma_k be the lower central series of a surface group Gamma of a compact surface S with one boundary component. A simple question to ponder is whether a mapping class of S can be determined to be pseudo-Anosov given only the data of…

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface of type $(p,n)$ with $3p+n>4$ and $n\geq 1$. Let $\alpha_1,\alpha_2\subset S$ be two simple closed geodesics such that $\{\alpha_1, \alpha_2\}$ fills $S$. It was shown by Thurston that most maps obtained through…

We establish a criterion for certain mapping classes of a surface homeomorphisms to be pseudo-Anosov in terms of the geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and Gromov-hyperbolic surface group extensions. Specifically, any element of the…

Let $M_\phi$ be a surface bundle over a circle with monodromy $\phi:S \rightarrow S$. We study deformations of certain reducible representations of $\pi_1(M_\phi)$ into $\text{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})$, obtained by composing a reducible…

Suppose $S$ is a surface of genus $\ge 2 $, $f: S \to S$ is a surface homeomorphism isotopic to a pseudo-Anosov map $\alpha$ and suppose $\ti S$ is the universal cover of $S$ and $F$ and $A$ are lifts of $f$ and $\alpha$ respectively. We…

In this note we characterise all finitely generated groups elementarily equivalent to a solvable Baumslag-Solitar group BS$(1,n)$. It turns out that a finitely generated group $G$ is elementarily equivalent to BS$(1,n)$ if and only if $G$…
