Veech fibrations

Abstract

We investigate complex surfaces that fiber over Teichmüller curves where the generic fiber is a Veech surface. When the fiber has genus one, these surfaces are elliptic fibrations; for higher genus fibers, they are typically minimal surfaces of general type. We compute the topological and complex-geometric invariants of these surfaces via the monodromy action on the mod-$m$ homology of the fiber. We get exact values of the invariants for all known algebraically primitive Teichmüller curves.
