The paper studies translation lengths on sphere complexes and related cones.

In this paper, we show that the minimal asymptotic translation length of the Torelli group $\mathcal{I}_g$ of the surface $S_g$ of genus $g$ on the curve graph asymptotically behaves like $1/g$, contrary to the mapping class group $Mod(S_g)$, which behaves like $1/g^2$. We also show that the minimal asymptotic translat…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the asymptotic translation lengths on the curve complexes of pseudo-Anosov monodromies in a fibered cone of a fibered hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with $b_1(M) \geq 2$. For a sequence $(Σ_n, ψ_n)$ of fibers and monodromies in the fibered cone, we show that the asymptotic translation len…

Let $M$ be a hyperbolic fibered 3-manifold with $b_1(M) \geq 2$ and let $S$ be a fiber with pseudo-Anosov monodromy $ψ$. We show that there exists a sequence $(R_n, ψ_n)$ of fibers and monodromies contained in the fibered cone of $(S,ψ)$ such that the asymptotic translation length of $ψ_n$ on the curve complex $\mathca…

Study pseudo-Anosov monodromies in fibered 3-manifolds using asymptotic translation lengths.

We establish bounds on the minimal asymptotic pseudo-Anosov translation lengths on the complex of curves of orientable surfaces. In particular, for a closed surface with genus $g \geqslant 2$, we show that there are positive constants $a_1 < a_2$ such that the minimal translation length is bounded below and above by $a…

We show that when the genus and punctures of a surface are directly proportional by some rational number the minimal asymptotic translation length in the curve complex has behavior inverse to the square of the Euler characteristic. We also show that when the genus is fixed and the number of punctures varies the behavio…

Abelian differentials on Riemann surfaces can be seen as translation surfaces, which are flat surfaces with cone-type singularities. Closed geodesics for the associated flat metrics form cylinders whose number under a given maximal length generically has quadratic asymptotics in this length, with a common coefficient c…

Study homeomorphisms on fine curve graph of surfaces, revealing new types of dynamics.

We compute the asymptotics, as R tends to infinity, of the number of closed geodesics in Moduli space of length at most R, or equivalently the number of pseudo-Anosov elements of the mapping class group of translation length at most R.

Study on stable translation lengths of surface homeomorphisms and their approximations.

A random Heegaard splitting is a 3-manifold obtained by using a random walk of length n on the mapping class group as the gluing map between two handlebodies. We show that the joint distribution of random walks of length n and their inverses is asymptotically independent, and converges to the product of the harmonic an…

The study connects translation length to manifold structure, proving bounds and identifying finite types.

Anosov maps on torus curve graphs have positive integer translation lengths.

We describe a polynomial-time algorithm to compute a (tight) geodesic between two curves in the curve graph. As well as enabling us to compute the distance between a pair of curves, this has several applications to mapping classes. For example, we can use these geodesics to compute the asymptotic translation length, Ni…

Let $γ_0$ be a curve on a surface $Σ$ of genus $g$ and with $r$ boundary components and let $π_1(Σ)\curvearrowright X$ be a discrete and cocompact action on some metric space. We study the asymptotic behavior of the number of curves $γ$ of type $γ_0$ with translation length at most $L$ on $X$. For example, as an applic…

Random walks on hyperbolic spaces show linear growth in translation lengths.

We construct an example of an isometric action of $F(a,b)$ on a $δ$-hyperbolic graph $Y$, such that this action is acylindrical, purely loxodromic, has asymptotic translation lengths of nontrivial elements of $F(a,b)$ separated away from $0$, has quasiconvex orbits in $Y$, but such that the orbit map $F(a,b)\to Y$ is n…

Neural machine translation is a relatively new approach to statistical machine translation based purely on neural networks. The neural machine translation models often consist of an encoder and a decoder. The encoder extracts a fixed-length representation from a variable-length input sentence, and the decoder generates…

Unique hyperplanes are the only translating solitons asymptotic to half-hyperplanes.

We prove that all elements of infinite order in $Out(F_n)$ have positive translation lengths; moreover, they are bounded away from zero. Consequences include a new proof that solvable subgroups of $Out(F_n)$ are finitely generated and virtually abelian and the new result that such subgroups are quasi-convex.

We show that for any weakly convergent sequence of ergodic $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$-invariant probability measures on a stratum of unit-area translation surfaces, the corresponding Siegel-Veech constants converge to the Siegel-Veech constant of the limit measure. Together with a measure equidistribution result due to Eskin-M…

Neural machine translation is a recently proposed approach to machine translation. Unlike the traditional statistical machine translation, the neural machine translation aims at building a single neural network that can be jointly tuned to maximize the translation performance. The models proposed recently for neural ma…

Classifies and constructs translators for curvature flows.

Given $φ$ a pseudo-Anosov map, let $\ell_\mathcal{T}(φ)$ denote the translation length of $φ$ in the Teichmüller space, and let $\ell_\mathcal{C}(φ)$ denote the stable translation length of $φ$ in the curve graph. Gadre--Hironaka--Kent--Leininger showed that, as a function of Euler characteristic $χ(S)$, the minimal po…

We study the SL(2,R)-infimal lengths of simple closed curves on half-translation surfaces. Our main result is a characterization of Veech surfaces in terms of these lengths. We also revisit the "no small virtual triangles" theorem of Smillie and Weiss and establish the following dichotomy: the virtual triangle area spe…

The paper proves properties of surfaces with finite curvature in 3D space.

The authors of (Cho et al., 2014a) have shown that the recently introduced neural network translation systems suffer from a significant drop in translation quality when translating long sentences, unlike existing phrase-based translation systems. In this paper, we propose a way to address this issue by automatically se…
