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…

New bound for group action length without diameter restriction.

New findings on translation lengths in Teichmüller and curve graphs for pseudo-Anosovs.

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…

Study minimal translation lengths on curve complexes, providing bounds and constructing examples.

We show that an Anosov map has a geodesic axis on the curve graph of a torus. The direct corollary of our result is the stable translation length of an Anosov map on the curve graph is always a positive integer. As the proof is constructive, we also provide an algorithm to calculate the exact translation length for any…

Paper finds surfaces where KVol is close to the surface's genus.

The study examines translation lengths of pseudo-Anosov maps on curve graphs.

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…

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

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…

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

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…

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…

The paper proves instability of translating λ-solitons and provides bounds on their length.

Study of Torelli groups of partitioned surfaces with bounds and asymptotic lengths.

New lattice extensions of Schottky groups in hyperbolic space.

A translation surface of Euclidean space $\r^3$ is the sum of two regular curves $α$ and $β$, called the generating curves. In this paper we classify the minimal translation surfaces of $\r^3$ and we give a method of construction of explicit examples. Besides the plane and the minimal surfaces of Scherk type, it is pro…

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

We prove that any mapping torus of a pseudo-Anosov mapping class with bounded normalized Weil-Petersson translation length contains a finite set of transverse and level closed curves, and drilling out this set of curves results in one of a finite number of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds. The number of manifolds in the f…

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…

Study on finiteness property of right-angled Artin groups actions on extension graphs.

We show that the minimum of asymptotic translation lengths of all point-pushing pseudo-Anosov maps on any one punctured Riemann surface is one.

Study finds saddle connections on random surfaces follow Poisson distribution.

Two trees in the boundary of outer space are said to be \emph{primitive-equivalent} whenever their translation length functions are equal in restriction to the set of primitive elements of $F_N$. We give an explicit description of this equivalence relation, showing in particular that it is nontrivial. This question is …

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.

Random walks on metric spaces embed quasi-isometrically into the space.

Uniform systole bounds for arithmetic orbifolds and number fields.

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…

New bounds on homological eigenvalues relate to Weil-Petersson length.

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…

Automorphisms and subdivisions of Helly graphs are studied, leading to explicit models and rational translation lengths.

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…

The study explores normal generators for mapping class groups and their properties.

Dominant representations found via Fock-Goncharov coordinates.

We show that the Teichmüller space of a surface without boundary and with punctures, equipped with Thurston's metric is the limit (in an appropriate sense) of Teichmüller spaces of surfaces with boundary, equipped with their arc metrics, when the boundary lengths tend to zero. We use this to obtain a result on the tran…

Unique minimal translation surfaces found in Heisenberg group.

New theorem shows metrics of certain groups are close if their lengths are identical.

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…

In this paper, we study Clifford-Wolf translations of Finsler spaces. We first give a characterization of Clifford-Wolf translations of Finsler spaces in terms of Killing vector fields. In particular, we show that there is a natural correspondence between Clifford-Wolf translations and the Killing vector fields of cons…

Circle packings on translation surfaces are consistent across different surfaces.

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.

The triangulation complexity of a closed orientable 3-manifold is the minimal number of tetrahedra in any triangulation of the manifold. The main theorem of the paper gives upper and lower bounds on the triangulation complexity of any closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold that fibres over the circle. We show that the…

We define a family of four-point invariants for Shilov boundaries of bounded symmetric domains of tube type, which generalizes the classical four-point cross ratio on the unit circle. This generalization, which is based on a similar construction of Clerc and Ørsted, is functorial and well-behaved under products; these …

Improved bounds on acylindricity for right-angled Artin groups.

We show that the translation length of any parabolic isometry on a complete semi-uniformly visible CAT(0) space is always zero. As a consequence, we will classify the isometries on visible CAT(0) spaces in terms of translation lengths. We will also show that the moduli space $\mathbb{M}(S_{g,n})$ of surface $S_{g,n}$ o…
