Abstract: Lagrange spectra have been defined for closed submanifolds of the moduli space of translation surfaces which are invariant under the action of SL(2,R). We consider the closed orbit generated by a specific covering of degree 7 of the standard torus, which is an element of the stratum H(2). We give an explicit formula for the values in the spectrum, in terms of a cocycle over the classical continued fraction. Differently from the classical case of the modular surface, where the lowest part of the Lagrange spectrum is discrete, we find an isolated minimum, and a set with a rich structure right above it.

Review text

Lagrange spectra have been defined for closed submanifolds of the moduli space of translation surfaces which are invariant under the action of the group \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb R)\). The authors consider the closed orbit generated by a particular covering of degree seven of the standard torus which is an element of the stratum \(\mathcal H(2)\). They give an explicit formula for the values in the associated Lagrange spectrum in terms of a cocycle over the classical continued fraction. The authors find an isolated minimum and a set with a rich structure right above it. This results is different from the classical case of the modular surface, where the lowest part of the Lagrange spectrum is discrete.
