Chaos in large genus surfaces

Francisco Arana-Herrera

Geodesic flows on closed hyperbolic surfaces are a quintessential example of chaotic dynamics, i.e., systems whose long term behavior is very sensitive to initial conditions. The s…

Heisenberg Translation Flows

Francisco Arana-Herrera, Jayadev Athreya, Giovanni Forni

We study ergodic theoretical properties of flows on circle bundles over translation surfaces that arise via prequantization, generalizing the theory of Heisenberg nilflows to base…

The geometry of totally geodesic subvarieties of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces

Francisco Arana-Herrera, Alex Wright

We prove a semisimplicity result for the boundary, in the corresponding Deligne-Mumford compactification, of a totally geodesic subvariety of a moduli space of Riemann surfaces. At…

Weak mixing in rational billiards

Francisco Arana-Herrera, Jon Chaika, Giovanni Forni

We completely characterize rational polygons whose billiard flow is weakly mixing in almost every direction as those which are not almost integrable, in the terminology of Gutkin,…

From limit theorems to mixing limit theorems

Francisco Arana-Herrera, Giovanni Forni

Motivated by work of Dolgopyat and Nándori, we establish a general method for upgrading limit theorems for Birkhoff sums and cocycles over dynamical systems to mixing limit theorem…

The distribution of critical graphs of Jenkins-Strebel differentials

Francisco Arana-Herrera, Aaron Calderon

By work of Jenkins and Strebel, given a Riemann surface X and a simple closed multi-curve on it, there exists a unique quadratic differential q on X whose horizontal foliation…

The shapes of complementary subsurfaces to simple closed hyperbolic multi-geodesics

Francisco Arana-Herrera, Aaron Calderon

Cutting a hyperbolic surface X along a simple closed multi-geodesic results in a hyperbolic structure on the complementary subsurface. We study the distribution of the shapes of th…

Effective count of square-tiled surfaces with prescribed real and imaginary foliations in connected components of strata

Francisco Arana-Herrera

We prove an effective estimate with a power saving error term for the number of square-tiled surfaces in a connected component of a stratum of quadratic differentials whose vertica…

Counting problems from the viewpoint of ergodic theory: from primitive integer points to simple closed curves

Francisco Arana-Herrera

In her thesis, Mirzakhani showed that the number of simple closed geodesics of length on a closed, connected, oriented hyperbolic surface of genus is asymptotic to…

The asymmetry of Thurston's earthquake flow

Francisco Arana-Herrera, Alex Wright

We show that Thurston's earthquake flow is strongly asymmetric in the sense that its normalizer is as small as possible inside the group of orbifold automorphisms of the bundle of…

Bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of Teichmüller horocycle flow orbit closures

Francisco Arana-Herrera

We show that the Hausdorff dimension of any proper Teichmüller horocycle flow orbit closure on any -invariant subvariety of Abelian or quadratic differ…

Francisco Arana-Herrera

We prove a quantitative estimate with a power saving error term for the number of filling closed geodesics of a given topological type and length on an arbitrary closed, o…

Effective mapping class group dynamics II: Geometric intersection numbers

Francisco Arana-Herrera

We show that the action of the mapping class group on the space of closed curves of a closed surface effectively tracks the corresponding action on Teichmüller space in the followi…
