The asymptotic behavior of least pseudo-Anosov dilatations
  For a surface $S$ with $n$ marked points and fixed genus $g\geq2$, we prove that the logarithm of the minimal dilatation of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of $S$ is on the order of $(\log n)/n$. This is in contrast with the cases of genus zero or one where the order is $1/n$.
