The most natural word metric on this group is the autonomous metric. It has many interesting properties, most important of which is the bi-invariance of this metric. In this work we show that $Ham(\\Sigma_g)$ is unbounded with respect to this metric.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2014-05-30T17:57:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "closed hyperbolic surface", "hamiltonian diffeomorphisms", "autonomous metric", "natural word metric", "interesting properties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.2757B" } } }
