Unbounded asymmetry of stretch factors
Abstract
A result of Handel-Mosher guarantees that the ratio of logarithms of stretch factors of any fully irreducible automorphism of the free group FN and its inverse is bounded by a constant CN. In this short note we show that this constant CN cannot be chosen independent of N.
