Farb–Leininger–Margalit symmetry conjecture for small stretch factors
Farb–Leininger–Margalit symmetry conjecture for small stretch factors
Let be a closed orientable surface, let be pseudo-Anosov with stretch factor , and let be the constant appearing in the small-stretch-factor bound. Symmetry conjecture. If
then is the product of a finite-order element and a reducible element, and the absolute value of the Euler characteristic of the support of the reducible element is bounded above by , independently of . The source notes partial progress when the stretch factor is less than , but the full conjecture remains open.
