The slope gap distribution of a translation surface is a measure of how random the directions of the saddle connections on the surface are. It is known that Veech surfaces, a highly symmetric type of translation surface, have gap…
We explicitly compute the limiting gap distribution for slopes of saddle connections on the flat surface associated to the regular octagon with opposite sides identified. This is the first such computation where the Veech group of the…
We compute the gap distribution of directions of saddle connections for two classes of translation surfaces. One class will be the translation surfaces arising from gluing two identical tori along a slit. These yield the first explicit…
We give an explicit formula for the limiting gap distribution of slopes of saddle connections on the golden L, or any translation surface in its SL(2, R)-orbit, in particular the double pentagon. This is the first explicit computation of…
In this paper, we study the distribution of renormalized gaps between slopes of saddle connections on translation surfaces. Specifically, we describe a procedure for finding the "winning holonomy vectors" as defined by…
We consider saddle connections on a translation surface in a hyperelliptic connected component of a stratum that do not intersect the interior of a distinguished saddle connection. For this restricted set of saddle connections, we show that…
Motivated by the study of billiards in polygons, we prove fine results for the distribution of gaps of directions of saddle connections on translation surfaces. As an application we prove that for almost every holomorphic differential…
Translation surfaces with poles correspond to meromorphic differentials on compact Riemann surfaces. They appear in compactifications of strata of the moduli space of Abelian differentials and in the study of stability conditions. Such…
A translation surface is given by polygons in the plane, with sides identified by translations to create a closed Riemann surface with a flat structure away from finitely many singular points. Understanding geodesic flow on a surface…
We study connection points on the double regular $n$-gon translation surface, for $n \geq 7$ odd and its staircase model. For $n \neq 9$, we provide a large family of points with coordinates in the trace field that are not connection…
We consider a flat metric with conical singularities on the sphere. Under the assumption that no partial sum of angle defects is equal to $2\pi$, we draw on the geometry of immersed disks to obtain an explicit upper bound on the number of…
In this paper we review the theory of slope gap distributions of translation surfaces and summarize the state-of-the-art for calculating slope gap distributions of Veech surfaces. We then derive the slope gap distribution of a particular…
Flat surfaces that correspond to $k$-differentials on compact Riemann surfaces are of finite area provided there is no pole of order $k$ or higher. We denote by \textit{flat surfaces with poles of higher order} those surfaces with flat…
In this article, we illustrate how the concept of slope limiter can be interpreted graphically, i.e., how the slope of reconstructed piecewise linear function is limited by four bounding lines that connect cell-averaged data and its…
We prove an effective slope gap distribution result first for the square torus and then for general lattice translation surfaces. As a corollary, we obtain a dynamical proof for an effective gap distribution result for the Farey fractions.…
We give effective estimates for the number of saddle connections on a translation surface that have length $\leq L$ and are in a prescribed homology class modulo $q$. Our estimates apply to almost all translation surfaces in a stratum of…
For a translation surface, we define the systole to be the length of the shortest saddle connection. We give a characterization of the maxima of the systole function on a stratum, and give a family of examples providing local but nonglobal…
Random geometric graphs (RGGs) are commonly used to model networked systems that depend on the underlying spatial embedding. We concern ourselves with the probability distribution of an RGG, which is crucial for studying its random…
In this paper, we investigate the general notion of the slope for families of curves $f: X \to Y$. The main result is an answer to the above question when $\dim Y = 2$, and we prove a lower bound for this new slope in this case over fields…
The transmission through a stack of identical slabs that are separated by gaps with random widths is usually treated by calculating the average of the logarithm of the transmission probability. We show how to calculate the average of the…
