Minimizing entropy for translation surfaces

Dynamical Systems 2022-07-04 v3

Abstract

In this note, we consider the entropy of unit area translation surfaces in the SL(2,R)SL(2, \mathbb R) orbits of square tiled surfaces that are the union of squares, where the singularities occur at the vertices and the singularities have a common cone angle. We show that the entropy over such orbits is minimized at those surfaces tiled by equilateral triangles where the singularities occur precisely at the vertices.
