1. A conjectural picture of 3-manifolds. A major thrust of mathematics in the late 19th century, in which Poincare had a large role, was the uniformization theory for Riemann surfaces: that every…
On the geometry and dynamics of diffeomorphisms of surfaces
- W. Thurston

- 1 October 1988
This article was widely circulated as a preprint, about 12 years ago. At that time the Bulletin did not accept research announcements, and after a couple of attempts to publish it, I gave up, and the…
A norm for the homology of 3-manifolds

On construit une norme naturelle aisement calculable sur l'homologie des 3-varietes. Cette norme est une extension de la notion de genre d'un nœud
On iterated maps of the interval
- J. Milnor, W. Thurston
- Mathematics
- 1988
Introduction. Mappings from an interval to itself provide the simplest possible examples of smooth dynamical systems. Such mappings have been widely studied in recent years since they occur in quite…
Minimal stretch maps between hyperbolic surfaces
- W. Thurston
- Mathematics
- 9 January 1998
This paper develops a theory of Lipschitz comparisons of hyperbolic surfaces
analogous to the theory of quasi-conformal comparisons. Extremal Lipschitz maps (minimal
stretch maps) and geodesics for…
Some simple examples of symplectic manifolds
- W. Thurston
- Mathematics
- 1 February 1976
This is a construction of closed symplectic manifolds with no Kaehler structure. A symplectic manifold is a manifold of dimension 2k with a closed 2-form a such that ak is nonsingular. If M2k is a…

Our main theorem is that, if M is a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold which fibres over the circle with hyperbolic fibre S and pseudo-Anosov monodromy, then the lift of the inclusion of S in M to…
