We prove an upper bound on the systolic ratio of an orientable isometric filling of the circle equipped with a Riemannian metric. The bound depends only on the genus of isometric filling. We also apply the bound to the class of orientable…

More than thirty years ago, Brooks and Buser-Sarnak constructed sequences of closed hyperbolic surfaces with logarithmic systolic growth in the genus. Recently, Liu and Petri showed that such logarithmic systolic lower bound holds for every…

Here we survey on the growth of systoles of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces under the congruence covering and give simple proofs for the best possible constants of Gromov for several important classes of symmetric spaces.

We refine the theory of the cohomological equation for translation flows on higher genus surfaces with the goal of proving optimal results on the Sobolev regularity of solutions and of distributional obstructions. For typical translation…

We compute the asymptotic number of cylinders, weighted by their area to any non-negative power, on any cyclic branched cover of any generic translation surface in any stratum. Our formulas depend only on topological invariants of the cover…

Consider a collection of finitely many polygons in $\mathbb C$, such that for each side of each polygon, there exists another side of some polygon in the collection (possibly the same) that is parallel and of equal length. A translation…

The natural automorphism group of a translation surface is its group of translations. For finite translation surfaces of genus g > 1 the order of this group is naturally bounded in terms of g due to a Riemann-Hurwitz formula argument. In…

We study the systole of a random surface, where by a random surface we mean a surface constructed by randomly gluing together an even number of triangles. We study two types of metrics on these surfaces, the first one coming from using…

In this paper, we give the maximum of the numbers $n$ such that we can take $n$ simple closed geodesics without singularities that are disjoint to each other for translation surfaces in the hyperelliptic components $\mathcal{H}^{\rm…

An Abelian differential gives rise to a flat structure (translation surface) on the underlying Riemann surface. In some directions the directional flow on the flat surface may contain a periodic region that is made up of maximal cylinders…

We investigate the interaction between systolic geometry and positive scalar curvature through spinorial methods. Our main theorem establishes an upper bound for the two-dimensional stable systole on certain high-dimensional manifolds with…

The main goal of this article is to understand how the length spectrum of a random surface depends on its genus. Here a random surface means a surface obtained by randomly gluing together an even number of triangles carrying a fixed metric.…

A translation surface is a surface formed by identifying edges of a collection of polygons in the complex plane that are parallel and of equal length using only translations. We determined that the same circle packing can be realized on…

Square-tiled surfaces are a class of translation surfaces that are of particular interest in geometry and dynamics because, as covers of the square torus, they share some of its simplicity and structure. In this paper, we study counting…

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 find an upper bound for the entropy of a systolically extremal surface, in terms of its systole. We combine the upper bound with A. Katok's lower bound in terms of the volume, to obtain a simpler alternative proof of M. Gromov's…
