The surgered flow projects to a map on the surgery track that can be taken to be a linked twist map with oppositely oriented shears which generates the ergodic behavior for sufficiently strong shears in the surgery.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-16T19:00:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "unit tangent bundle", "surgered flow", "hyperbolic surface", "ergodicity", "trivial periodic flow" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
