Translation Covers Among Triangular Billiard Surfaces

arXiv:0810.3353

Abstract

We identify all translation covers among triangular billiard surfaces. Our main tools are the holonomy field of Kenyon and Smillie and a geometric property of translation surfaces, which we call the fingerprint of a point, that is preserved under balanced translation covers.
