Further, we show that $\\tau$ collates exactly the taut surfaces representing classes in the cone over $\\sigma$ up to isotopy. The analysis includes nonlayered veering triangulations and nonfibered faces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-29T19:23:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K32" ], "keywords": [ "veering triangulation", "thurston norm ball", "taut surfaces representing classes", "nonfibered faces", "closed three-manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
