Generating the spin mapping class group by Dehn twists

Ursula Hamenstädt

Let f be a Z/2Z-spin structureon a closed surface S of genus g>3. We determine a generating set of the stabilizer of f in the mapping class group of S consisting of Dehn twists abo…

The Smallest Positive Eigenvalue Of Fibered Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds

Hyungryul Baik, Ilya Gekhtman, Ursula Hamenstaedt

We study the smallest positive eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold which fibers over the circle, with fiber a closed surface…

Exponential Torsion Growth for Random 3-Manifolds

Hyungryul Baik, David Bauer, Ilya Gekhtman +5

We show that a random 3-manifold with positive first Betti number admits a tower of cyclic covers with exponential torsion growth.

Stability in Outer Space

Ursula Hamenstädt, Sebastian Hensel

We characterize strongly Morse quasi-geodesics in Outer space as quasi-geodesics which project to quasi-geodesics in the free factor graph. We define convex cocompact subgroups of…

Spheres and Projections for

Ursula Hamenstädt, Sebastian Hensel

The outer automorphism group Out(F_2g) of a free group on 2g generators naturally contains the mapping class group of a punctured surface as a subgroup. We define a subsurface proj…

Distance in the curve graph

Ursula Hamenstaedt

We estimate the distance in the curve graph of a surface S of finite type using Teichmueller geodesics and assuming to be able to detect curves of distance at least three.

Asymptotic dimension and the disk graph I

Ursula Hamenstaedt

For a 3-manifold M and a subsurface of the boundary of M with empty or incompressible boundary we use surgery to identify a graph whose vertices are disks with boundary in X an…

Lines of minima in Outer space

Ursula Hamenstaedt

We define lines of minima in the thick part of Outer space for the free group Fn with n>2 generators. We show that these lines of minima are contracting for the Lipschitz metric. E…
