Abstract: We investigate various structures associated with the hyperbolic Markov and homological spectra of a pseudoAnosov map

p h i

on a surface. Each unstable eigenvalue of the action of

p h i

on first cohomolgy yields an eigen-cocycle that is transverse and holonomy invariant to the stable foliation

m a t h c a l F^{s}

of

p h i

. Each unstable eigenvalue

m u

of a Markov transition matrix for

p h i

yields a holonomy invariant additive function

G

on transverse arcs to

c F^{s}

with

p h i^{*} G = m u G

. Except when

m u

is the dilation of

p h i

, these transverse arc functions do not yield measures, but rather holonomy invariant eigen-distributions which are dual to H"older functions. Stable homological and Markov eigenvalues yield analogous transverse structures to the unstable foliation of

p h i

. The main tool for working with the homological spectrum is the Franks-Shub Theorem which holds for a general manifold and map. For the Markov spectrum we use the correspondence of the leaf space of stable foliation with a one-sided subshift of finite type. This identification allows the symbolic analog of a transverse arc function to be defined, analyzed, and applied.
