We classify GL(2,R) invariant point markings over components of strata of Abelian differentials. Such point markings exist only when the component is hyperelliptic and arise from marking Weierstrass points or two points exchanged by the…
We show that all GL(2,R) equivariant point markings over orbit closures of translation surfaces arise from branched covering constructions and periodic points, completely classify such point markings over strata of quadratic differentials,…
The object of this paper is to study GL(2,R) orbit closures in hyperelliptic components of strata of abelian differentials. The main result is that all higher rank affine invariant submanifolds in hyperelliptic components are branched…
We study the codimension n locus of curves of genus 2 with n distinct marked Weierstrass points inside the moduli space of genus 2, n-pointed curves, for n <= 6. We give a recursive description of the classes of the closure of these loci…
We classify GL(2,R) orbit closures of translation surfaces of rank at least half the genus plus 1.
We show that every GL(2, R) orbit closure of translation surfaces is either a connected component of a stratum, the hyperelliptic locus, or consists entirely of surfaces whose Jacobians have extra endomorphisms. We use this result to give…
A point of a Veech surface is periodic if it has a finite orbit under the surface's affine automorphism group. We show that the periodic points of Prym eigenforms in the minimal strata of translation surfaces in genera 2, 3 and 4 are the…
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 construct a symplectic flow on a surface of genus g greater than one with exactly 2g-2 hyperbolic fixed points and no other periodic orbits. Moreover, we prove that a (strongly non-degenerate) symplectomorphism of a surface (with genus g…
We prove in two different ways that the monodromy map from the space of irreducible $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-differential-systems on genus two Riemann surfaces, towards the character variety of $\mathrm{SL}_2$-representations of the fundamental…
We classify a natural collection of GL(2,R)-invariant subvarieties, which includes loci of double covers, the orbits of the Eierlegende-Wollmilchsau, Ornithorynque, and Matheus-Yoccoz surfaces, and loci appearing naturally in the study of…
Inside the moduli space of curves of genus three with one marked point, we consider the locus of hyperelliptic curves with a marked Weierstrass point, and the locus of non-hyperelliptic curves with a marked hyperflex. These loci have…
It is well-known that Teichmuller discs that pass through "integer points'' of the moduli space of abelian differentials are very special: they are closed complex geodesics. However, the structure of these special Teichmuller discs is…
The equivariant and ordinary cohomology rings of Hilbert schemes of points on the minimal resolution C^2//G for cyclic G are studied using vertex operator technique, and connections between these rings and the class algebras of wreath…
We obtain a complete classification of components of strata of holomorphic and meromorphic k-differentials. We show that, when genus is at least two and outside of explicit exceptions when k < 4, there is one primitive nonhyperelliptic…
We construct Weierstrass data for higher genus embedded doubly periodic minimal surfaces and present numerical evidence that the associated period problem can be solved. In the orthogonal ends case, there previously was only one known…
Periodic points are points on Veech surfaces, whose orbit under the group of affine diffeomorphisms is finite. We characterise those points as being torsion points if the Veech surfaces is suitably mapped to its Jacobian or an appropriate…
The purpose of this paper is to study hyperelliptic curves with extra involutions. The locus $\L_g$ of such genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves is a $g$-dimensional subvariety of the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves $\H_g$. We discover a…
The main result of this paper is that every non-trivial Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed oriented surface of genus at least one has periodic points of arbitrarily high period. The same result is true for S^2 provided the…
Let G be the separable Galois group of a finite field F of characteristic p, and X/F an imaginary hyperelliptic curve such that G acts transitively on its set W(X) of Weierstrass points. The existence of a G-invariant 2-torsion point on the…
