Abstract |
|
We show that the compression body graph, which is Gromov hyperbolic, has infinite diameter. Furthermore, every subgroup in the Johnson filtration of the mapping class group contains elements which act loxodromically on the compression body graph. Our methods give an alternative proof of a result of Biringer, Johnson and Minsky: the stable lamination of a pseudo-Anosov element is contained in the limit set of a compression body if and only if some power of the pseudo-Anosov element extends over a nontrivial subcompression body. We also extend results of Lubotzky, Maher and Wu, on the distribution of Casson invariants of random Heegaard splittings, to a larger class of random walks. |
