On the Geography of Slopes of Fibrations

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The slopes of fibrations of genus g ≥ 2 have strict lower (resp., upper) bound, namely λm(g) (resp., λM (g)). In this paper, we show that if g ≠ 3, then each rational number r ∈ [λm(g), λM (g)] can occur as the slope of some fibration of genus g. A similar result is also true for g = 3 and r ∈ [λm(3), 9].
