Dynnikov coordinates and pseudo-Anosov braids

The aim of this thesis is to study dynamical properties of pseudo -Anosov braids on the n-times punctured disk Dn making use of a particular coordinate system called the Dynnikov coordinate system. The Dynnikov coordinate system gives a homeomorphism from the space of measured foliations MFn on Dn (...
