Systoles of arithmetic surfaces and Markoff spectrum
Structure of modular groups and generalizations; arithmetic groups (11F06) Minima of forms (11H50) Quadratic forms (reduction theory, extreme forms, etc.) (11H55) Markov and Lagrange spectra and generalizations (11J06) Unimodular groups, congruence subgroups (group-theoretic aspects) (20H05) Conformal metrics (hyperbolic, Poincaré, distance functions) (30F45)
Previous authors have used the geometry of certain low-index covers of the modular surface to study the Markoff numbers. The author uses all principal congruence covers; he shows that the infamous uniqueness conjecture is equivalent to the uniqueness -- up to isometry -- of systoles (shortest non-boundary geodesics) which are sufficiently far from any cusp. The results for the Markoff numbers are typified by: If \((x, y, z)\), with \(z\geq x, y\), is a solution in positive integers of \(x^2+ y^2+ z^2= 3xyz\), and \(z\) is a prime power, then \(z\) uniquely determines \((x, y, z)\). One might confer [\textit{A. Baragar}, Can. Math. Bull. 39, No. 1, 3-9 (1996; Zbl 0846.11020)] for related results by way of rather different techniques.
