In [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 127, No. 7, 2183--2192 (1999; Zbl 0920.58035)], \\textit{J. Franks} and \\textit{E. Rykken} proved that, for any pseudo-Anosov map \\(f:S\\to S\\) with orientable invariant stable/unstable foliation whose dilatation is a quadratic irrational, \\(f\\) is a lift of an Anosov map on the torus \\(T^2\\) via a branched cover \\(S\\to T^2\\). Then B. Farb (see [\\textit{B. Strenner}, Geom. Funct. Anal. 27, No. 6, 1497--1539 (2017; Zbl 1382.37046)]) asked whether this phenomenon holds in general, that is, whether a pseudo-Anosov map with low algebraic degree dilatation over \\(\\mathbb{Q}\\) is a lift of a pseudo-Anosov map on a low genus surface via a branched cover of degree at least \\(2\\). The authors give a negative answer to Farb's question in this paper.  The pseudo-Anosov maps constructed in this paper are given by \\textit{R. C. Penner}'s construction [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 310, No. 1, 179--197 (1988; Zbl 0706.57008)]. For \\(r=\\frac{d}{2}\\) and any \\(g\\geq r+2\\), the authors carefully construct two multicurves \\(\\{a_1,\\dots,a_r\\}\\) and \\(\\{b_1,\\dots,b_r\\}\\) that fill the closed orientable surface \\(S_g\\) with genus \\(g\\). For each \\(m>0\\), they carefully take a pseudo-Anosov mapping classe \\(f_m\\) in the semigroup generated by \\(\\{T_{a_1}^m,\\dots, T_{a_r}^m,T_{b_1}^{-m},\\dots, T_{b_r}^{-m}\\}\\). Then they use \\textit{B. Strenner}'s work [Geom. Funct. Anal. 27, No. 6, 1497--1539 (2017; Zbl 1382.37046)] to prove that the dilatation of each \\(f_m\\) has degree \\(2r\\) over \\(\\mathbb{Q}\\).  To prove that \\(f_m\\) is not a lift via a branched cover of degree at least \\(2\\), the authors actually prove that the induced singular flat metric on \\(S_g\\) is not a lift of a singular flat metric on another surface \\(\\Sigma\\) via a branched cover \\(S_g\\to \\Sigma\\) of degree at least \\(2\\). More precisely, by invoking Mazur-Minsky's machinery on subsurface projection of curve complexes, the authors study extensively  moduli of flat cylinders in \\(S_g\\) and \\(\\Sigma\\). They prove that, for large enough \\(m\\), the branched cover \\(S_g\\to \\Sigma\\), if exists, must have degree \\(2\\) and the deck transformation on \\(S_g\\) must be an involution that fixes each \\(a_i\\) and \\(b_i\\) curve. However, by the construction of \\(f_m\\), the combinatorics of \\(\\{a_1,\\dots,a_r\\}\\) and \\(\\{b_1,\\dots,b_r\\}\\) on \\(S_g\\) prohibits the existence of such an involution.  Since the authors' proof proves that the induced singular flat metric on \\(S_g\\) is not a lift via a branched cover, they actually prove that any pseudo-Anosov element in the Veech group that preserves this singular flat metric is not a lift. However, it is possible that this Veech group only consists of powers of \\(f_m\\). In the end of the paper, by using Thurston's construction, the authors also construct examples satisfying the main theorem with \\(d=4\\) such that the corresponding Veech group is not elementary.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2180199$E845BA3D-7A2D-45E8-891F-139C7C12AAED","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"94614d4b2cb3b96a0debaacf6ccb7cab92038c66","datavalue":{"value":"37E30","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2180199$9153795B-3AEE-405B-96ED-86EC4B9EF97B","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"e5cc3d2dda9f6cab4414397afae9e1a176c247cc","datavalue":{"value":"57M10","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2180199$D97053E0-DA7F-43E9-9577-265EFDEE2236","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"1c745fe9f9fd950076cb858ccadc78c0e065cb45","datavalue":{"value":"11R04","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2180199$210178AC-3A36-4FAC-B075-1EB46C65E60A","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"3c70959db83bb3351da86f0b2d926a9c118da288","datavalue":{"value":"57M50","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2180199$1A3EA118-8083-4B0C-BB0B-98DF8919B364","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"0b280ea1b0c5ec15f5ce09263ad85a572f346d89","datavalue":{"value":"57R50","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2180199$B1848F06-BEAA-4A65-9077-A910F1F7AA42","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"2abcb00b68ff15889b320431a8d166c43c96c4dc","datavalue":{"value":"7200339","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2180199$37714CD0-DC9A-42FA-A269-0C8D9939CB11","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"91922665ae49bd14d5c2d8a9fc175c39659f32c1","datavalue":{"value":"pseudo-Anosov
