On the genericity of pseudo-Anosov braids II: conjugations to rigid braids

We prove that generic elements of braid groups are pseudo-Anosov, in the following sense: in the Cayley graph of the braid group with n $\ge$ 3 strands, with respect to Garside's generating set, we prove that the proportion of pseudo-Anosov braids in the ball of radius l tends to 1 exponentially quickly as l tends to infinity. Moreover, with a similar notion of genericity, we prove that for generic pairs of elements of the braid group, the conjugacy search problem can be solved in quadratic time. The idea behind both results is that generic braids can be conjugated "easily" into a rigid braid.

On the genericity of pseudo-Anosov braids I: rigid braids

We prove that, in the $l$-ball of the Cayley graph of the braid group with $n \geqslant 3$ strands, the proportion of rigid pseudo-Anosov braids is bounded below independently of $l$ by a positive value.

A family of pseudo-Anosov braids whose super summit sets grow exponentially

We prove that the size of the super summit set of a braid can grow exponentially with the canonical length of the braid, even for pseudo-Anosov braids.

Combinatoire du point de croix

This paper deals with a popular form of counted-thread embroidery: the cross-stitch. More precisely, we are interested in the minimal length of embroidery thread one need to fill a given picture. We give a complete answer to this problem for 4-connexe pictures (the notion is defined in the paper). In a last part, we study several other examples.
