Pseudo-Anosov map

In mathematics, specifically in topology, a pseudo-Anosov map is a type of a diffeomorphism or homeomorphism of a surface. It is a generalization of a linear Anosov diffeomorphism of the torus. Its definition relies on the notion of a measured foliation introduced by William Thurston, who also coined the term "pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism" when he proved his classification of diffeomorphisms of a surface. (Wikipedia).

Pseudo-Anosov Constructions and Penner's Conjecture - Balazs Strenner

Balazs Strenner November 12, 2015 https://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=83254 In this first talk, we give an introduction to Penner’s construction of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes. Penner conjectured that all pseudo-Anosov maps arise from this construction up to finite power.
