Limit sets of Teichmüller geodesics with minimal non-uniquely ergodic vertical foliation (Q1707505)

The paper counts 32 pages and describes a family of geodesic laminations on a surface, which are limits of explicit sequences of simple closed curves on the surface, forming a quasi-geodesic in the curve complex and hence are minimal, filling and measurable. The authors present a method for constructing Teichmüller geodesics for the vertical foliation \(\nu\) being minimal but not uniquely ergodic. Although the construction is general, the authors focus on the case of five-time punctured sphere, which makes the proofs clear and allows the reader to observe some interesting phenomena. The construction presented depends on many parameters, which can be adjusted to ensure that the set of accumulation points of such a geodesic in the Thurston boundary is the projective \(1\)-simplex of all projective measured foliations topologically equivalent to \(\nu\). It can also further be assumed that the transverse measure is an ergodic measure on the non-uniquely ergodic foliation \(\nu\). The authors also provide the historical background and all the necessary preliminary data on Teichmüller space, curves and markings, curve graph, relative twisting, geodesic laminations and foliations, and train tracks.
