The Tameness Conjecture for train-track generic automorphisms
The Tameness Conjecture for train-track generic automorphisms
Let be a connected sum of copies of , with canonical splitting , and let be a train-track generic automorphism. A one-dimensional lamination in is tame if every point has a flat chart neighborhood in .
Tameness Conjecture. The automorphism can be isotoped so that it preserves the splitting and the induced automorphism on is train-track generic and has a tame one-dimensional invariant lamination.
The conjecture concerns whether the invariant laminations associated with train-track generic automorphisms can be chosen without the pathological self-linking found in typical generic automorphisms. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
