Pseudo-Anosov mapping classes not arising from Penner's construction

Hyunshik Shin and Balázs Strenner

Geometry & Topology 19 (2015) 3645–3656
Abstract

We show that Galois conjugates of stretch factors of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes arising from Penner’s construction lie off the unit circle. As a consequence, we show that, for all but a few exceptional surfaces, there are examples of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes so that no power of them arises from Penner’s construction. This resolves a conjecture of Penner.
