Abstract
In this talk, I will introduce the notion of an end-periodic homeomorphism and its stretch factors motivated by the study of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms and their stretch factors. I will then discuss recent joint work with Paige Hillen and Chenxi Wu in which we characterize the set of end-periodic stretch factors.
