Prym-Teichm\"uller curves $W_D(4)$ constitute the main examples of known primitive Teichm\"uller curves in the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3$. We determine, for each non-square discriminant $D>1$, the number and type of orbifold points in…
For each integer $D \geq 5$ with $D \equiv 0$ or $1 \bmod 4$, the Weierstrass curve $W_D$ is an algebraic curve and a finite volume hyperbolic orbifold which admits an algebraic and isometric immersion into the moduli space of genus two…
We prove that for each discriminant $D \equiv 0,1 \mod 4, D \not\in\{4,9\}$, the corresponding Prym eigenform locus discovered by McMullen in the stratum $\mathcal{H}(6)$ is connected. Thus, the projection of any of those loci in the moduli…
This paper is devoted to the classification of the infinite families of Teichmuller curves generated by Prym eigenforms of genus 3 having a single zero. These curves were discovered by McMullen. The main invariants of our classification is…
This work is a contribution to the classification of Teichm\"uller curves in the moduli space $\M_2$ of Riemann surfaces of genus 2. While the classification of primitive Teichm\"uller curves in $\M_2$ is complete, the classification of the…
A cyclic cover of the complex projective line branched at four appropriate points has a natural structure of a square-tiled surface. We describe the combinatorics of such a square-tiled surface, the geometry of the corresponding…
We study the M-theory five-brane wrapped around the Seiberg-Witten curves for pure classical and exceptional groups given by an integrable system. Generically, the D4-branes arise as cuts that collapse to points after compactifying the…
The $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$-orbits of primitive $n$-squared origamis can be represented by finite four-regular graphs. It is a conjecture of McMullen that the orbit graphs of such origamis in the stratum $\mathcal{H}(2)$ form an expander family.…
We classify the Teichm\"uller curves in the moduli space of genus three Riemann surfaces $\mathcal M_3$ that are obtained by a covering construction from a primitive Teichm\"uller curve in $\mathcal M_2$. We describe the action on homology…
We study a family of Teichm\"uller curves T(n,m) constructed by Bouw and M\"oller, and previously by Veech and Ward in the cases n=2,3. We simplify the proof that T(n,m) is a Teichm\"uller curve, avoiding the use M\"oller's characterization…
A Weierstrass Prym eigenform is an Abelian differential with a single zero on a Riemann surface possessing some special kinds of symmetries. Such surfaces come equipped with an involution, known as a Prym involution. They were originally…
For each group $G$, $(|G| > 2)$ \, which acts as a full automorphism group on a genus 3 hyperelliptic curve, we determine the family of curves which have 2-Weierstrass points. Such families of curves are explicitly determined in terms of…
We prove that there are only finitely many algebraically primitive Teichmueller curves in the minimal stratum in each prime genus at least 3. The proof is based on the study of certain special planes in the first cohomology of a translation…
Let C be a complete non-singular irreducible curve of genus 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We determine all possible Weierstrass semigroups of ramification points on double covers of C which have genus greater…
We describe a new class of supersymmetric orientifolds which combine the world-sheet parity transformation with a complex conjugation in the compact directions. As an example, we investigate in detail the orientifold of the Z_3 toroidal…
We characterise genus 3 complex smooth hyperelliptic curves that contain two additional involutions as curves that can be build from five points in $\mathbb{P}^1$ with a distinguished triple. We are able to write down explicit equations for…
We consider normal covers of CP^1 with abelian deck group, branched over at most four points. Families of such covers yield arithmetic Teichm\"uller curves, whose period mapping may be described geometrically in terms of Schwarz triangle…
We present an explicit parametrization of the families of lines of the Dwork pencil of quintic threefolds. This gives rise to isomorphic curves which parametrize the lines. These curves are 125:1 covers of certain genus six curves. These…
We obtain the first complete classification result for algebraically primitive Teichm\"{u}ller curves in a stratum component in genus greater than 2. Specifically, we show that the Veech 14-gon generates the unique algebraically primitive…
Three new examples of 4-dimensional irreducible symplectic V-manifolds are constructed. Two of them are relative compactified Prymians of a family of genus-3 curves with involution, and the third one is obtained from a Prymian by Mukai's…
