We announce a classification of genus 2 Veech surfaces in the stratum with a single double zero. Furthermore, we classify all completely periodic translation surfaces in genus 2.
Take a Teichm\"uller disc whose corresponding flat surface has a Veech-Group that contains a parabolic element. We look at its image in Schottkyspace and show that we can always construct a Schottky covering such that this image is not a…
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…
We consider various metric and analytic notions of finiteness on translation surfaces. The Veech group of a surface is discrete if the surface has finite area or is totally bounded.
In this paper, we construct new examples of Veech groups by extending Schmithusen's method for calculating Veech groups of origamis to Veech groups of unramified finite coverings of regular 2n-gons. We calculate the Veech groups of certain…
We define an infinite series of translation coverings of Veech's double-n-gon for odd n greater or equal to 5 which share the same Veech group. Additionally we give an infinite series of translation coverings with constant Veech group of a…
We study infinite superelliptic curves as translation surfaces and explore their Veech groups. These objects are branched covering of the complex plane with branching over infinitely many points. We provide a criterion for isomorphism…
We classify the Rauzy-Veech groups of all connected components of all strata of the moduli space of translation surfaces in absolute homology, showing, in particular, that they are commensurable to arithmetic lattices of symplectic groups.…
We study the congruence problem for subgroups of the modular group that appear as Veech groups of square-tiled surfaces in the minimal stratum of abelian differentials of genus two.
These notes discuss an infinite translation surface, introduced by Chamanara. We review his proof that the Veech group is a non-elementary Fuchsian group of the second kind which is generated by two parabolic elements.
We demonstrate the existence of a certain genus four origami whose Kontsevich--Zorich monodromy is arithmetic in the sense of Sarnak. The surface is interesting because its Veech group is as large as possible and given by…
We classify Veech groups of tame non-compact flat surfaces. In particular we prove that all countable subgroups of $\mathbf{GL}_+(2,\R)$ avoiding the set of mappings of norm less than 1 appear as Veech groups of tame non-compact flat…
In this paper, we study the PSV construction, which provides a step by step method for obtaining tame translation surfaces with a suitable Veech group. In addition, we modify slightly this construction, and for each finitely generated…
These are the notes of a talk that I gave at the Weihnachtsworkshop 2017 in Saarbr\"ucken. It answered a question by Hooper and Trevi\~no on the Veech group of the golden ladder, a translation surface of infinite type.
We describe Veech groups of flat surfaces arising from irrational angled polygonal billiards or irreducible stable abelian differentials. For irrational polygonal billiards, we prove that these groups are non-discrete subgroups of SO(2,R)…
We prove some ergodic theorems for flat surfaces of finite area. The first result concerns such surfaces whose Teichmuller orbits are recurrent to a compact subset of $SL(2;R)/SL(S)$, where $SL(S)$ is the Veech group of the surface. In this…
We give explicit pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi invariant. Any translation surface whose Veech group is commensurable to any of a large class of triangle groups is shown to have an affine pseudo-Anosov…
The Kontsevich-Zorich monodromy of an origami is the image of the action of the Veech group on the non tautological part of the homology. In this paper we make some progress to show, that for origamis in the stratum $\mathcal{H}(2)$ the…
We study Veech surfaces of genus 2 arising from quadratic differentials that are not squares of abelian differentials. We prove that all such surfaces of type (2,2) and (2,1,1) are arithmetic. In (1,1,1,1) case, we reduce the question to…
We study the SL(2,R)-infimal lengths of simple closed curves on half-translation surfaces. Our main result is a characterization of Veech surfaces in terms of these lengths. We also revisit the "no small virtual triangles" theorem of…
