Abstract: For a Veech surface (x,omega), we characterize subspaces of X^n, invariant under the diagonal action of the affine group of X. We prove that non-arithmetic Veech surfaces have only finitely many invariant subspaces of very particular shape (in any dimension). Among other consequences we find copies of (X,omega) embedded in the moduli-space of translation surfaces. We study illumination problems in (pre-)lattice surfaces. For (X,omega) prelattice we prove the at most countableness of points non-illuminable from any x in X. Applying our results on invariant subspaces we prove the finiteness of these sets when (X,omega) is Veech.
