Abstract

We investigate the relation between the topological entropy of pseudo-Anosov maps on surfaces with punctures and the rank of the first homology of their mapping tori. On the surface \(S\) of genus \(g\) with \(n\) punctures, we show that the minimal entropy of a pseudo-Anosov map is bounded from above by \(\dfrac{(k+1)\log(k+3)}{|\chi(S)|}\) up to a constant multiple when the rank of the first homology of the mapping torus is \(k+1\) and \(k, g, n\) satisfy a certain assumption. This is a partial generalization of precedent works of Tsai and Agol-Leininger-Margalit.
