Is a typical bi-Perron algebraic unit a pseudo-Anosov dilatation?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 November 2017
Abstract
In this note, we deduce a partial answer to the question in the title. In particular, we show that asymptotically almost all bi-Perron algebraic units whose characteristic polynomial has degree at most $2n$ do not correspond to dilatations of pseudo-Anosov maps on a closed orientable surface of genus $n$ for $n\geq 10$. As an application of the argument, we also obtain a statement on the number of closed geodesics of the same length in the moduli space of area-one abelian differentials for low-genus cases.
