Low-Dimensional Topology and Geometric Group Theory: Research Papers Database

This database is actively maintained and is being extended continually to cover more papers, researchers and journals.

Papers from 39 leading journals whose MSC classification (primary or secondary) is in low-dimensional topology, mapping class groups, Teichmüller theory or geometric group theory, compiled from zbMATH Open, together with a smaller set of closely related papers (marked Related). Each title links to the paper on the publisher's website.

Tips: au:bestvina author, ti:"mapping class" phrase in title, msc:20F65 code, -braid excludes a word. Click an author or an MSC code on any paper to filter by it.

About this database

Records come from zbMATH Open. A paper is included when any of its MSC codes (primary or secondary) is one of the target codes shown as chips above, or when its title contains "mapping class" or "Teichmüller" (marked Found by title keyword). All years are covered for every journal. These are the core papers.

Papers marked Related are not in the core set but are closely connected to it. A paper is added as related when: (1) it is cited by at least twelve core papers (it may be in any journal, a book chapter or a proceedings paper); (2) it appears in one of the 39 journals under a neighbouring MSC code (such as geodesic flows, entropy, symbolic dynamics, surface dynamics or global differential geometry) and matches topic keywords such as geodesic currents, length spectra, laminations or counting curves; (3) it appears in one of the 39 journals under a neighbouring code and has an author with at least three core papers; or (4) it meets test (2) or (3) under the older 1991 codes for geodesic flows, entropy and hyperbolic dynamics. Candidates without a strong keyword in the title were read and judged one by one, and a few key references were added by hand. Hover over the chip to see why a paper was included, and use the Tier filter to show only core or only related papers.

Verified: confirmed against the publisher's record in Crossref, or by two independent reads of the zbMATH record.
Checked: read once from zbMATH and passed DOI, year and completeness checks.
Missing DOIs and a few errors in zbMATH (pages, year, issue) were corrected by hand against the publishers' pages.
