Siegel-Veech Constants of Cyclic Covers of Generic Translation Surfaces
摘要:We consider generic translation surfaces of genus g>0 with marked points and take
covers branched over the marked points such that the monodromy of every element in the
fundamental group lies in a cyclic group of order d. Given a translation surface, the number
of cylinders with waist curve of length at most L grows like L^2. By work of Veech and Eskin
Masur, when normalizing the number of cylinders by L^2, the limit as L goes to infinity exists
and the resulting number is called a Siegel-Veech constant. The same holds true if we weight
the cylinders by their area. Remarkably, the Siegel-Veech constant resulting from counting
cylinders weighted by area is independent of the number of branch points. All necessary
background will be given. This is joint work with Aaron Calderon, Carlos Matheus, Nick Salter,
and Martin Schmoll.
