Infinitely many lattice surfaces with special pseudo-Anosov maps. (English) Zbl 1322.30015
Summary: We give explicit pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi invariant. Any translation surface whose Veech group is commensurable to any of a large class of triangle groups is shown to have an affine pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of this type. We also apply a reduction to finite triangle groups and thereby show the existence of nonparabolic elements in the periodic field of certain translation surfaces.
