Abstract: We reduce a question of Eskin-Kontsevich-Zorich and Forni-Matheus-Zorich, which asks for a classification of all $ext{SL}_2(mathbbR)$-invariant ergodic probability measures with completely degenerate Kontsevich-Zorich spectrum, to a conjecture of M"oller's. Let $mathcal{D}_g(1)$ be the subset of the moduli space of Abelian differentials $mathcal{M}_g$ whose elements have period matrix derivative of rank one. There is an $ext{SL}_2(mathbbR)$-invariant ergodic probability measure $u$ with completely degenerate Kontsevich-Zorich spectrum, i.e. $lambd{a}_1=1>lambd{a}_2=cdots=lambd{a}_g=0$, if and only if $u$ has support contained in $mathcal{D}_g(1)$. We approach this problem by studying Teichm"uller discs contained in $mathcal{D}_g(1)$. We show that if $(X,omega)$ generates a Teichm"uller disc in $mathcal{D}_g(1)$, then $(X,omega)$ is completely periodic. Furthermore, we show that there are no Teichm"uller discs in $mathcal{D}_g(1)$, for $g=2$, and the two known examples of Teichm"uller discs in $mathcal{D}_g(1)$, for $g=3,4$, are the only two such discs in those genera. Finally, we prove that if there are no genus five Veech surfaces generating Teichm"uller discs in $mathcal{D}_5(1)$, then there are no Teichm"uller discs in $mathcal{D}_g(1)$, for $g=5,6$.
