We show that generic infinite group extensions of geodesic flows on square tiled translation surfaces are ergodic in almost every direction, subject to certain natural constraints. Recently K. Fr\c{a}czek and C. Ulcigrai have shown that…

We construct the first examples of rationally convex surfaces in the complex plane with hyperbolic complex tangencies. In fact, we give two very different types of rationally convex surfaces: those that admit analytic fillings by…

We construct an explicit family of finite-area, infinite-genus translation surfaces whose vertical translation flow is strongly mixing. This provides a positive answer to a question posed by Lindsey and Trevi\~no~\cite{LT}

An oblivious point on a translation surface is a point with no closed geodesic passing through it. Nguyen, Pan, and Su (2017) showed that there are at most finitely many oblivious points on any given translation surface and constructed a…

In the half-space model of hyperbolic space, that is, $\r^3_{+}=\{(x,y,z)\in\r^3;z>0\}$ with the hyperbolic metric, a translation surface is a surface that writes as $z=f(x)+g(y)$ or $y=f(x)+g(z)$, where $f$ and $g$ are smooth functions. We…

The Veech group of a translation surface is the group of Jacobians of orientation-preserving affine automorphisms of the surface. We present an algorithm which constructs all translation surfaces with a given lattice Veech group in any…

Strata of translation surfaces are covered by the closures of finitely many iso-Delaunay regions: open subspaces parametrizing surfaces whose Delaunay triangulations are combinatorially equivalent. We prove that the iso-Delaunay regions for…

Translation surfaces with poles correspond to meromorphic differentials on compact Riemann surfaces. They appear in compactifications of strata of the moduli space of Abelian differentials and in the study of stability conditions. Such…

There are only a few invariants one classically associates with precompact translation surfaces, among them certain numberfields, i.e. fields which are finite extensions of the field Q of rational numbers. These fields are closely related…

Total five different types of translation surfaces, based upon planarity of translating curves and the absolute figure, arise in a Galilean 3-space. Excepting the type in which both of translating curves are non-planar we obtain these…

In this informal expository note, we quickly introduce and survey compactifications of strata of holomorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces, i.e. spaces of translation surfaces. In the last decade, several of these have been constructed,…

In the homogeneous space Sol$_3$, a translation surface is parameterized by $x(s,t)=\alpha(s)\ast\beta(t)$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are curves contained in coordinate planes and $\ast$ denotes the group operation of Sol$_3$. In this…

In this paper, we study the $k$-Hessian curvature flow of noncompact spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski space. We first prove the existence of translating solutions with given asymptotic behavior. Then, we prove that for strictly convex…

We consider translation surfaces with poles on surfaces. We shall prove that any finite group appears as the automorphism group of some translation surface with poles. As a direct consequence we obtain the existence of structures achieving…

In this paper we construct complete convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ which translate under the flow by powers $\alpha \in (0, \frac1{n+2})$ of the Gauss curvature. The level set of each solution is asymptotic to a shrinking soliton…
