Computing Triangulations of Mapping Tori of Surface Homeomorphisms
by
Peter Brinkmann
University of Utah

I will present the mathematical background of a software package that computes triangulations of mapping tori of surface homeomorphisms, suitable for Jeff Weeks's program SnapPea. The package consists of two programs. One of them computes triangulations and prints them in a human-readable format. The other one converts this format into SnapPea's triangulation file format and may be of independent interest because it allows for quick and easy generation of input for SnapPea.
