Euler characteristics of Gothic Teichm\"{u}ller curves

Algebraic Geometry 2020-10-07 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We compute the Euler characteristics of the recently discovered series of Gothic Teichm\"{u}ller curves. The main tool is the construction of 'Gothic' Hilbert modular forms vanishing at the images of these Teichm\"{u}ller curves. Contrary to all previously known examples, the Euler characteristic is not proportional to the Euler characteristic of the ambient Hilbert modular surfaces. This results in interesting 'varying' phenomena for Lyapunov exponents.
