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 slope gap distribution for saddle connections on any 2n-gon. Our calculations show that the slope gap distribution for a translation surface is not always unimodal, answering a question of Athreya. We also…

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…

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…

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.…

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 consider flow directions on the translation surfaces formed from double $(2n+1)$-gons, and give a sufficient condition in terms of a natural gcd algorithm for a direction to be hyperbolic in the sense that it is the fixed direction for…

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…

A square-tiled surface (STS) is a branched cover of the standard square torus with branching over exactly one point. In this paper we consider a randomizing model for STSs and generalizations to branched covers of other simple translation…
