On Cross Sections to the Geodesic and Horocycle Flows on Quotients of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ by Hecke Triangle Groups $G_q$

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a model for cross sections to the geodesic and horocycle flows on $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})/G_q$ using an extension of a heuristic of P. Arnoux and A. Nogueira. Our starting point is a continued fraction algorithm related to the group $G_q$, and a cross section to the horocycle flow on $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})/G_q$ from a previous paper. As an application, we get the natural extension and invariant measure for a symmetric $G_q$-Farey interval map resulting from projectivizing the aforementioned continued fraction algorithm.
