Minimum dilatations of pseudo-Anosov braids
Chi Cheuk Tsang, Xiangzhuo Zeng
We determine the minimum dilatation among pseudo-Anosov braids with strands, for large enough values of . These are the dilatations attained by the examples of Hirona…

Minimal stretch factors of orientation-reversing fully-punctured pseudo-Anosov maps
Erwan Lanneau, Livio Liechti, Chi Cheuk Tsang
We show that the stretch factor of an orientation-reversing fully-punctured pseudo-Anosov map on a finite-type orientable surface , with and having a…
