Let $X$ be a compact hyperbolic surface of genus $g$, and $C$ a geodesic current on $X$. Denote by $h_X(C)$ the measure-theoretic entropy of $C$ with respect to the geodesic flow. Assume that $C$ is ergodic. In this paper, we establish a…

We study the relationship between the lengths of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces and their topological complexity, measured by the self-intersection number. In particular, we provide explicit upper bounds for the length $s_k(X)$ of…

We show that the algebraic intersection form of hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$ has a minimum in the moduli space and that the minimum grows in the order $(\log g)^{-2}$ in terms of the genus. We also describe the asymptotic behavior of…

Our main point of focus is the set of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. For any fixed integer $k$, we are interested in the set of all closed geodesics with at least $k$ (but possibly more) self-intersections. Among these, we…

We prove that the minimal length of a closed geodesic with self-intersection number $k$ on any finite-type hyperbolic surface is $2\cosh^{-1}(1+2k)$ for $k>1750$. This improves the previously known threshold $k > 10^{13350}$. Our proof is…

Let $S$ be a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$. We call a systole a shortest simple closed geodesic in $S$ and denote by $\mathop{sys}(S)$ its length. Let $\mathop{msys(g)}$ be the maximal value that…

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotics of shortest filling closed multi-geodesics of closed hyperbolic surfaces as systole $\to 0$ or as genus $\to \infty$. We first show that for a closed hyperbolic surface $X_g$ of genus $g$, the…
