In this paper, we introduce a method for dividing up noncompact hyperbolic manifold of finite volume into canonical Euclidean pieces.The construction first arose in the setting surfaces (see [7]), and case one gets cell decomposition surface structure.(The structure, course, is not complete.)The conformal structure underlying does agree with but two structures are probably too distant (cf.Sullivan's theorem [5] an analogous result).This investigation from attempt to understand coordinates...

An explicit method of integration top-dimensional differential forms over the moduli spaces punctured Riemann surfaces is presented.This applied to computation Weil-Petersson volumes spaces, and we find that volume for twice-punctured torus π 4 /8 that, large g , once-punctured surface genus at least g~2c~2 (2g)\, where c < .15 a constant independent .Our methods depend upon certain bundle (introduced earlier) classical Teichmuller space surfaces, some our computations rely on standard...

We consider the collection of all pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms on a surface fixed topological type. To each such homeomorphism is associated real-valued invariant, called its dilatation (which greater than one), and we define spectrum to be logarithms dilatations maps supported surface. The natural object study from topological, geometric, dynamical points view. are concerned in this paper with least element spectrum, explicit upper lower bounds derived terms type surface; train tracks main...

Abstract Motivation: Several dynamic programming algorithms for predicting RNA structures with pseudoknots have been proposed that differ dramatically from one another in the classes of considered. Results: Here, we use natural topological classification terms irreducible components are embeddable surfaces fixed genus. We add to conventional secondary four building blocks genus order construct certain arbitrarily high A corresponding unambiguous multiple context-free grammar provides an...

Abstract We introduce a new model of proteins that extends and enhances the traditional graphical representation by associating combinatorial object called fatgraph to any protein based upon its intrinsic geometry. Fatgraphs can easily be stored manipulated as triples permutations, these methods are therefore amenable fast computer implementation. Applications include refinement structural classifications prediction geometric other properties from their chemical structures. © 2010 Wiley...

This paper extends the decorated Teichmüller theory developed before for punctured surfaces to setting of "bordered" surfaces, i.e., with boundary, and there is non-trivial new structure discovered.Beyond this, main result this identifies an open dense subspace arc complex a bordered surface up proper homotopy equivalence certain quotient moduli space, namely, by natural action positive reals homothety on hyperbolic lengths geodesic boundary components.One tool in proof homeomorphism between...

Several topological and homological operads based on families of projectively weighted arcs in bounded surfaces are introduced studied. The spaces underlying the basic operad identified with open subsets a compactification due to Penner space closely related Riemann's moduli space. Algebras over these shown be Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras, where entire BV structure is realized simplicially. Furthermore, our contains cacti up homotopy, it similarly acts loop any New structures circle...

We describe a generalization of Thurston’s original construction pseudo-Anosov maps on surface $F$ negative Euler characteristic. In fact, we construct whole semigroups by taking appropriate compositions Dehn twists along certain families curves; our arguments furthermore apply to give examples nonorientable surfaces. For each self-map $f:F \to F$ arising from recipe, an invariant "bigon track" (a slight train track) whose incidence matrix is Perron-Frobenius. Standard produce projective...
