We consider pseudo-Anosov mapping classes on a closed orientable surface of genus $g$ that fix a rank $k$ subgroup of the first homology of the surface. We first show that there exists a uniform constant $C>0$ so that the minimal asymptotic translation length on the curve complex among such pseudo-Anosovs is bounded below by $C over g(2g-k+1)$. This interpolates between results of Gadre-Tsai and of the first author and Shin, who treated the cases of the entire mapping class group ($k = 0$) and the Torelli subgroup ($k = 2g$), respectively. We also discuss possible strategy to obtain an upper bound. Finally, we construct a pseudo-Anosov on a genus $g$ surface whose maximal invariant subspace is of rank $2g-1$ and the asymptotic translation length is of $asymp 1/g$ for all $g$. Such pseudo-Anosovs are further shown to be unable to normally generate the whole mapping class groups. As Lanier-Margalit proved that pseudo-Anosovs with small translation lengths on the Teichmuller spaces normally generate mapping class groups, our observation provides a restriction on how small the asymptotic translation lengths on curve complexes should be if the similar phenomenon holds for curve complexes.
We investigate the translation lengths of group elements that arise in random walks on weakly hyperbolic groups. In particular, without any moment condition, we prove that non-elementary random walks exhibit at least linear growth of translation leng
We show that if a prime homology sphere has the same Floer homology as the standard three-sphere, it does not contain any incompressible tori.
By the work of Harer, the reduced homology of the complex of curves is a fundamental cohomological object associated to all torsion free finite index subgroups of the mapping class group. We call this homology group the Steinberg module of the mappin
We study the action of (big) mapping class groups on the first homology of the corresponding surface. We give a precise characterization of the image of the induced homology representation.
We prove that any mapping torus of a closed 3-manifold has zero simplicial volume. When the fiber is a prime 3-manifold, classification results can be applied to show vanishing of the simplicial volume, however the case of reducible fibers is by far
