N2 - For any atoroidal iwip ℓ Out(FN), the mapping torus group Gℓ =FN→ ℓ t is hyperbolic, and, by a result of Mitra, the embedding iota: FN hd Gℓ induces a continuous, FN-equivariant and surjective Cannon-Thurston map FN to Gℓ. We prove that for any as above, the map is finite-to-one and that the preimage of every point of Gℓ has cardinality at most 2N. We also prove that every point S in Gℓ with at least three preimages in FN has the form (wtm) where w FN, m ne 0, and that there are at most 4N-5 distinct FN-orbits of such singular points in Gℓ (for the translation action of FN on Gℓ). By contrast, we show that for k=1,2, there are uncountably many points S Gℓ (and thus uncountably many FN-orbits of such S) with exactly k preimages in FN.
