Random-walk tunnel number one 3-manifolds do not fiber
Random-walk tunnel number one 3-manifolds do not fiber
Let be the handlebody used to construct tunnel number one 3-manifolds, let be its boundary, and let be its mapping class group. Choose a finite generating set and form a random walk of length , applying its endpoint to a fixed non-separating simple closed curve to obtain the attaching curve and the corresponding manifold . Random-walk non-fibering conjecture. The probability that fibers over the circle goes to as . This is a conjectural analogue of the proved result for the measured-lamination model; the paper presents experimental evidence, but no proof is supplied for the mapping-class-group model.
