A new relationship between the dilatation of pseudo-Anosov braids and fixed point theory
arXiv:1801.04790
Abstract
A relation between the dilatation of pseudo-Anosov braids and fixed point theory was studied by Ivanov. In this paper we reveal a new relationship between the above two subjects by showing a formula for the dilatation of pseudo-Anosov braids by means of the representations of braid groups due to B. Jiang and H. Zheng.
