  1. Abstract Given an irreducible, end‐periodic homeomorphism of a surface with finitely many ends, all accumulated by genus, the mapping torus, , is the interior of a compact, irreducible, atoroidal 3‐manifold with incompressible boundary. Our main result is an upper bound on the infimal hyperbolic volume of in terms of the translation length of on the pants graph of . This builds on work of Brock and Agol in the finite‐type setting. We also construct a broad class of examples of irreducible, end‐periodic homeomorphisms and use them to show that our bound is asymptotically sharp.

  2. In this note we make progress toward a conjecture of Durham–Fanoni–Vlamis, showing that every infinite-type surface with fi­ni­te-invariance index \(1\) and no nondisplaceable compact subsurfaces fails to have a good graph of curves, that is, a connected graph where vertices represent homotopy classes of essential simple closed curves and with a natural mapping class group action having infinite diameter orbits. Our arguments use tools developed by Mann–Rafi in their study of the coarse geometry of big mapping class groups.
