Renormalized volume and pseudo Anosovs
Greg McShane, Mathematics, Institut Fourier, France,

Schlenker and Krasnov have established a remarkable Schlaffli-type formula for the (renormalized) volume of a quasi-Fuchsian manifold. Using this, classical results in complex analysis and convergence in Thurston's Double Limit Theorem one obtains explicit upper bounds for the volume of a mapping torus in terms of the translation distance of the monodromy on Teichmueller space.
