These Thurston maps are NET maps for every choice of translation term. They have degree 16. They are imprimitive, each factoring as a Thurston map with degree 4 followed by a Euclidean NET map with degree 4. The non-Euclidean factor is a NET map if it has four postcritical points. 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 12. ALL THURSTON MULTIPLIERS c/d IN UNREDUCED FORM 1/8, 2/4, 4/2 EXCLUDED INTERVALS FOR THE HALF-SPACE COMPUTATION (-infinity,-0.015858) ( 0.015858,infinity ) 1/0 is the slope of a Thurston obstruction with c = 4 and d = 2. These NET maps are not rational. SLOPE FUNCTION INFORMATION NUMBER OF FIXED POINTS: 2 EQUATOR? FIXED POINT c d 0 lambda1 lambda2 lambda1+lambda2 1/0 4 2 No No No No 0/1 1 8 No No No No NUMBER OF EQUATORS: 0 0 0 0 There are no more slope function fixed points. Number of excluded intervals computed by the fixed point finder: 885 There are no equators because both elementary divisors are greater than 1. No nontrivial cycles were found. Here is the action of the slope function on an invariant set S of slopes. N/1 -> 2N/1 The set S contains infinitely many infinite slope function trajectory tails. The slope function maps every slope to a slope: no slope maps to the nonslope. If the slope function maps slope s to a slope s' and if the intersection pairing of s with 1/0 is n, then the intersection pairing of s' with 1/0 is at most n. The slope function orbit of every slope whose intersection pairing with 1/0 is at most 50 either ends in one of the slopes described above or it has an infinite tail in one of the infinite sets described above.
