Teichmüller curves in moduli space, Eisenstein series and an application to triangular billiards (Q1122688): Difference between revisions

This paper is concerned with some special aspects of Teichmüller theory and applications to billiards. From the summary: ``There exists a Teichmüller disc \(\Delta_ n\) containing the Riemann surface of \(y^ 2+x^ n=1,\) in the genus [(n-1)/2] Teichmüller space, such that the stabilizer of \(\Delta_ n\) in the mapping class group has a fundamental domain of finite (Poincaré) volume in \(\Delta_ n\). Application is given to an asymptotic formula for the length spectrum of the billiard in isosceles triangles with angles (\(\pi\) /n,\(\pi\) /n,((n-2)/n)\(\pi)\) and to the uniform distribution of infinite billiard trajectories in the same triangles.''
