Folklore conjecture on density of pseudo-Anosovs in the mapping class group
Fix a finite generating set for , let be the ball of radius , and define the density of by
Let be the set of pseudo-Anosov elements of . Density conjecture for pseudo-Anosovs.
Random-walk and other probabilistic results show pseudo-Anosovs are prevalent in related senses, but the stated density conjecture does not follow directly from those results.
