Abstract. We show that if f : M → M is a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism on an orientable surface with oriented unstable manifolds and a quadratic expanding factor, then there is a hyperbolic toral automorphism on T 2 and a map h : M → T 2 such that h is a semi-conjugacy and (M, h) is a branched covering space of T 2 . We also give another characterization of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with quadratic expansion in terms of the kinds of Euclidean foliations they admit which are compatible with the affine structure associated to f .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
