Affine mappings of translation surfaces: Geometry and arithmetic

From MaRDI portal





The main result of this paper is an explicit general formula for the quadratic constant, \(c(S)\), where \(S\) is a Veech surface. The proof is based on the counting of vectors in the orbit of a lattice which is reduced to a counting of horocycles in the hyperbolic plane. The constant \(c(S)\) determines the main term of the asymptotics of the lengths of closed geodesics on \(S\). In the concluding section of this paper the authors show that \(c(S)\), when multiplied by \(\Pi\text{(Area}(S))\), is an algebraic number.
