Genus 9 and 11 minimal stretch factor conjecture for nonorientable surfaces
Genus 9 and 11 minimal stretch factor conjecture for nonorientable surfaces
Let be the closed nonorientable surface of genus , and let be the minimal stretch factor among pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms of with an orientable invariant foliation. The singularity type records the prong numbers of the singularities of a minimizing pseudo-Anosov map.
Genus 9 and 11 minimal stretch factor conjecture. The minimal stretch factors and minimal polynomials are predicted to be
These predictions concern the cases not settled by the paper's elimination tests: the authors state that the remaining candidate polynomials should be eliminable and that their constructed examples should be minimal. The conjecture is open in the source.
