Integrality conjecture distinguishing pseudo-Anosov mapping tori

Let Σ\Sigma be a compact oriented surface and let fMod(Σ)f\in\mathrm{Mod}(\Sigma) be pseudo-Anosov. Let

Mf=Σ×[0,1]/(x,1)(f(x),0)M_f=\Sigma\times[0,1]/_{(x,1)\sim(f(x),0)}

be the mapping torus of ff, and let TVr(Mf)TV_r(M_f) denote its SO(3)SO(3) Turaev–Viro invariant at odd level rr. Integrality conjecture. If ff is pseudo-Anosov, then there can be at most finitely many odd integers rr such that

TVr(Mf)Z.TV_r(M_f)\in\mathbb{Z}.

The conjecture is proposed to distinguish Turaev–Viro invariants of mapping tori of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes from those of periodic mapping classes. The paper proves the analogous finiteness conclusion under the hypothesis lTV(Mf)>0lTV(M_f)>0, but does not establish that hypothesis for every pseudo-Anosov mapping torus.
