Resumen de Lehmer's Question, Knots and Surface Dynamics
Daniel S. Silver, Susan G. Williams
Lehmer's question is equivalent to one about generalized growth rates of Lefschetz numbers of iterated pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphisms. One need consider only homeomorphisms that arise as monodromies of fibered knots in lens spaces L(n, 1), n > 0. Lehmer's question for Perron polynomials is equivalent to one about generalized growth rates of words under free group endomorphisms.
