Abstract
We study the magic manifold N which is a hyperbolic and fibered 3-manifold. We give an explicit construction of a fiber Fa and its monodromy :Fa → Fa of the fibration associated to each fibered class a of N. Let δg (resp. δg+) be the minimal dilatation of pseudo-Anosovs (resp. pseudo-Anosovs with orientable invariant foliations) defined on an orientable closed surface of genus g. As a consequence of our result, we obtain the first explicit construction of the following pseudo-Anosovs; a minimizer of δ7+ and conjectural minimizers of δg for large g.
