These Thurston maps are NET maps for every choice of translation term. They are primitive and have degree 8. PURE MODULAR GROUP HURWITZ EQUIVALENCE CLASSES FOR TRANSLATIONS {0} {lambda1} {lambda2} {lambda1+lambda2} Since no Thurston multiplier is 1, this modular group Hurwitz class contains only finitely many Thurston equivalence classes. The number of pure modular group Hurwitz classes in this modular group Hurwitz class is 24. ALL THURSTON MULTIPLIERS c/d IN UNREDUCED FORM 0/2, 0/4, 1/4, 1/2 Since every Thurston multiplier is less than 1, every NET map in this modular group Hurwitz class is rational. EXCLUDED INTERVALS FOR THE HALF-SPACE COMPUTATION (-98.000000,-2.000000) ( -2.000000,94.000000) SLOPE FUNCTION INFORMATION There are no slope function fixed points. Number of excluded intervals computed by the fixed point finder: 208 No nontrivial cycles were found. The slope function maps some slope to the nonslope. The slope function orbit of every slope p/q with |p| <= 50 and |q| <= 50 ends in the nonslope. If the slope function maps slope p/q to slope p'/q', then |p'| <= |p| for every slope p/q with |p| <= 50 and |q| <= 50.
