Closed geodesics with prescribed intersection numbers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let (Sigma,g) be a closed, oriented, negatively curved surface, and fix pairwise disjoint simple closed geodesics gammastar,1,dotsgammastar,r. We give an asymptotic growth as Lo+infty of the number of primitive closed geodesic of length less than L intersecting gammastar,j exactly nj times, where n1,dots,nr are fixed nonnegative integers. This is done by introducing a dynamical scattering operator associated to the surface with boundary obtained by cutting Sigma along gammastar,1,dots,gammastar,r and by using the theory of Pollicott-Ruelle resonances for open systems.
