Hironaka's golden ratio conjecture for minimum dilatations
Hironaka's golden ratio conjecture for minimum dilatations
For each genus , let denote the minimum dilatation among pseudo-Anosov maps on the closed surface of genus , and let be the golden ratio. Hironaka's golden ratio conjecture. The minimum dilatations satisfy
This conjecture predicts the asymptotic minimum normalized dilatation for pseudo-Anosov maps on closed surfaces. The source notes that examples with a uniformly bounded number of singularities support an approach to proving it, but the conjecture remains open in the supplied text.
