Infinitely many closed paths in the graph of Anosov flows

Mario Shannon

Abstract

Given an Anosov flow on a closed 3-manifold, we are interested in the problem of whether or not making non-trivial Fried surgeries along a finite set of periodic orbits can produce a flow equivalent to itself. We show that for some suspension Anosov flows, there exist infinitely many pairs of periodic orbits satisfying this property.

Key Result

Theorem 7

Let $(\phi^A,M_A)$ be the suspension flow generated by a hyperbolic matrix $A\in\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with $\mathop{\mathrm{\mathrm{tr}}}\nolimits(A)\geq 3$. Then,
