|---|
Let M be a small Seifert fiber space which has also a structure of surface bundle F x [0, 1]/{(x, 0) = (f(x), 1)} over the circle, where f: F
F is a monodromy map with non-empty fixed point set. A typical example of such a manifold appears as the result of 0-surgery on a torus knot. For each section in M, we have a projection in F in a natural way. We give a condition assuring that the given section in M is hyperbolic in terms of the projection in the fiber surface. By translating the result, we give a condition to obtain pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of once punctured surfaces from a periodic automorphism.
