Continuum-wise hyperbolicity is exactly the pseudo-Anosov dynamics with spine singularities
Abstract
We establish a complete structural classification for cwF-hyperbolic surface homeomorphisms. Specifically, we prove that a surface homeomorphism is cwF-hyperbolic if, and only if, it is a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism whose singularities consist exclusively of spines (1-prongs). Furthermore, we classify these systems up to topological conjugacy, showing that every such homeomorphism is conjugate to either an Anosov automorphism on the torus 𝕋2 or to a standard hyperelliptic quotient on 𝕊2 of a hyperbolic affine toral map. As a rigid consequence of this classification, we show that such dynamics are strictly obstructed on surfaces of genus greater than one, the Klein bottle, and the projective plane.
