On the measure with maximal entropy for the Teichmüller flow on the moduli space of Abelian differentials (Q1002822)

The paper considers the Teichmüller flow \(g_t\) on the moduli space of abelian differentials with zeros of given orders on a Riemannian surface of a given genus. It is known that this flow preserves a finite absolutely continuous measure and is ergodic on every connected component \(\mathcal H\) of the moduli space. The main result of the paper is that \(\mu/\mu(\mathcal H)\) is the unique measure with maximal entropy for the restriction of \(g_t\) to \(\mathcal H\). The proof is based on the symbolic representation of \(g_t\).
