We also show that among lifts of a Fuchsian action of the modular group, only 5-fold lift admits a similar characterization. These results indicate similarity and difference between rotation number and linear character.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-06-30T12:51:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37E45", "37C85", "37E10" ], "keywords": [ "rotation number", "fuchsian action", "modular group", "semi-conjugacy class", "similar characterization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
