Translation distance bounds for fibered 3-manifolds with boundary
by

Given a properly embedded essential surface S with non-zero slope in a fibered hyperbolic 3-manifold M, we show that the translation distance of the monodromy (as it acts on the arc and curve complex of the fiber) can be bounded above by |χ(S)|. We use this result to show that essential surfaces become more complex in covers of M. Furthermore, we show that an infinite family of fibered hyperbolic knots satisfies a conjecture of Schleimer.
