The class-number conjecture for pseudo-Anosov maps with fixed dilatation

Let (Λ,[I],K)(\Lambda,[I],K) be the triple corresponding to a pseudo-Anosov map ϕMod (X)\phi\in Mod~(X), and let λϕ\lambda_\phi be its dilatation. The integral order Λ\Lambda has class number hΛ=Λ/[I]h_\Lambda=|\Lambda/[I]|. Class-number conjecture. The number of conjugacy classes of pseudo-Anosov automorphisms with dilatation λϕ\lambda_\phi is equal to hΛh_\Lambda. This proposes an operator-algebraic arithmetic invariant for distinguishing pseudo-Anosov conjugacy classes with the same dilatation; the source gives no resolution of the claim.
