          <dc:description>For a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism f on a closed surface of genus g greater of equals to 2, for which the entropy is on the order 1/g (the lowest possible order), Farb-Leininger-Margalit showed that the volume of the mapping torus is bounded, independent of g. We show that the analogous result fails for a surface of fixed genus g with n punctures, by constructing pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism with entropy of the minimal order (log n)/n, and volume tending to infinity.</dc:description>
