In this note, we deduce a partial answer to the question in the title. In particular, we show that asymptotically almost all bi-Perron algebraic units whose characteristic polynomial has degree at most $2n$ do not correspond to dilatations of pseudo-Anosov maps on a closed orientable surface of genus $n$ for $n\geq 10$. As an application of the argument, we also obtain a statement on the number of closed geodesics of the same length in the moduli space of area-one abelian differentials for low-genus cases.

Abstract The closure of a braid in a closed orientable surface Ʃ is a link in Ʃ × S1. We classify such closed surface braids up to isotopy and homeomorphism (with a small indeterminacy for isotopy of closed sphere braids), algebraically in terms of the surface braid group. We find that in positive genus, braids close to isotopic links if and only if they are conjugate, and close to homeomorphic links if and only if they are in the same orbit of the outer action of the mapping class group on the surface braid group modulo its centre.

Abstract We show that if ϕ is a homeomorphism of a closed, orientable surface of genus g, and ϕ has large translation distance in the curve complex, then the fundamental group of the mapping torus {M_{\phi}} has rank {2g+1} .

Comprehensive Study

In this comprehensive study of Kitaev’s abelian models defined on a graph embedded on a closed orientable surface, we provide complete proofs of the topological ground state degeneracy, the absence of local order parameters, compute the entanglement entropy exactly and characterize the elementary anyonic excitations. The homology and cohomology groups of the cell complex play a central role and allow for a rigorous understanding of the relations between the above characterizations of topological order.

Let C be an algebraic curve of genus g ≥ 2. A coherent system on C consists of a pair (E,V), where E is an algebraic vector bundle over C of rank n and degree d and V is a subspace of dimension k of the space of sections of E. The stability of the coherent system depends on a parameter α. We study the geometry of the moduli space of coherent systems for different values of α when k ≤ n and the variation of the moduli spaces when we vary α. As a consequence, for sufficiently large α, we compute the Picard groups and the first and second homotopy groups of the moduli spaces of coherent systems in almost all cases, describe the moduli space for the case k = n - 1 explicitly, and give the Poincaré polynomials for the case k = n - 2. In an appendix, we describe the geometry of the "flips" which take place at critical values of α in the simplest case, and include a proof of the existence of universal families of coherent systems when GCD (n,d,k) = 1.

Let Σg be a closed orientable surface of genus g and let Diff 0(Σg, area ) be the identity component of the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of Σg. In this paper, we present the extension of Gambaudo–Ghys construction to the case of a closed hyperbolic surface Σg, i.e. we show that every nontrivial homogeneous quasi-morphism on the braid group on n strings of Σg defines a nontrivial homogeneous quasi-morphism on the group Diff 0(Σg, area ). As a consequence we give another proof of the fact that the space of homogeneous quasi-morphisms on Diff 0(Σg, area ) is infinite-dimensional. Let Ham (Σg) be the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of Σg. As an application of the above construction we construct two injective homomorphisms Zm → Ham (Σg), which are bi-Lipschitz with respect to the word metric on Zm and the autonomous and fragmentation metrics on Ham (Σg). In addition, we construct a new infinite family of Calabi quasi-morphisms on Ham (Σg).

AbstractWe study the connectedness of the moduli space of gauge equivalence classes of flat G-connections on a compact orientable surface or a compact nonorientable surface for a class of compact connected Lie groups. This class includes all the compact, connected, simply connected Lie groups, and some non-semisimple classical groups.
