We study the topological types of pants decompositions of a surface by associating to any pants decomposition $P,$ in a natural way its pants decomposition graph, $\Gamma(P).$ This perspective provides a convenient way to analyze the…

In the first part of this work we explore the geometry of infinite type surfaces and the relationship between its convex core and space of ends. In particular, we show that a geodesically complete hyperbolic surface is made up of its convex…

We obtain the exact values of the systoles of these hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$ with cyclic symmetries of the maximum order and the next maximum order. Precisely: for genus $g$ hyperbolic surface with order $4g+2$ cyclic symmetry, the…

In this paper we continue to investigate the systolic landscape of translation surfaces started in [CHMW]. We show that there is an infinite sequence of surfaces $(S_{g_k})_k$ of genus $g_k$, where $g_k \to \infty$ with large systoles. On…

We give a lower bound on the number of non-simple closed curves on a hyperbolic surface, given upper bounds on both length and self-intersection number. In particular, we carefully show how to construct closed geodesics on pairs of pants,…

For hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary, we study the orthosystole, i.e. the length of a shortest essential arc from the boundary to the boundary. We recover and extend work by Bavard completely characterizing the surfaces maximizing…

We consider the ortho spectrum of hyperbolic surfaces with totally geodesic boundary. We show that in general the ortho spectrum does not determine the systolic length but that there are only finitely many possibilities. As a corollary we…

For a closed and orientable surface of genus at least 2, we prove the surface group extensions of the stabilizers of multicurves are hierarchically hyperbolic groups. This answers a question of Durham, Dowdall, Leininger, and Sisto. We also…

We give a lower bound for the widths of the collars of certain short partial pants decomposition of the surface. Then we apply this to obtain upper bounds of the renormalized volume of certain Schottky manifolds in terms of the hyperbolic…

We construct infinite families of closed hyperbolic surfaces that are local maxima for the systole function on their respective moduli spaces. The systole takes values along a linearly divergent sequence $(L_n)_{n\geq 1}$ at these local…

We explain how to construct certain potential functions for the hyperbolic structures of a knot complement, which are closely related to the analytic functions on the deformation space of hyperbolic structures.

This article discusses inequalities on lengths of curves on hyperbolic surfaces. In particular, a characterization is given of which topological types of curves and multicurves always have a representative that satisfies a length inequality…

This note is about a type of quantitative density of closed geodesics on closed hyperbolic surfaces. The main results are upper bounds on the length of the shortest closed geodesic that $\varepsilon$-fills the surface.

We discuss several ways of packing a hyperbolic surface with circles (of either varying radii or all being congruent) or horocycles, and note down some observations related to their symmetries (or the absence thereof).

We study the order of lengths of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. Our first main result is that the order of lengths of curves determine a point in Teichm\"uller space. In an opposite direction, we identify classes of curves whose…

We show that the number of simple closed geodesics of length bounded by L on a hyperbolic surface of genus g with c cusps and b boundary components grows roughly like L^{6g+2b+2c-6}. This has been conjectured for some time.
