Algebraic intersection for translation sufaces in a family of Teichműller disks
arXiv:2007.10847 · doi:10.24033/bsmf.2839
Abstract
The setting is a square-tiled surface X. We study the quantity KVol, defined as the supremum over all pairs of closed curves, of their algebraic intersection divided by the product of their length, times the volume of X (so as to make it scaling-invariant). We give a hyperbolic-geometric construction to compute KVol in a family of Teichműller disks of square-tiled surfaces.
