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…
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…
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…
Let $\Lambda_1$, $\Lambda_2$ be two discrete orbits under the linear action of a lattice $\Gamma<\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ on the Euclidean plane. We prove a Siegel$-$Veech-type integral formula for the averages $$…
We develop a Bayesian Land Surface Phenology (LSP) model and examine its performance using Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) observations derived from the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) dataset. Building on previous work, we propose a…
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…
Dilation surfaces are generalizations of translation surfaces where the transition maps of the atlas are translations and homotheties with a positive ratio. In contrast with translation surfaces, the directional flow on dilation surfaces…
The flow in a fixed direction on a translation surface S determines a decomposition of S into closed invariant sets, each of which is either periodic or minimal. We study this decomposition for translation surfaces in the hyperelliptic…
We prove an effective version of a celebrated result of Eskin and Masur: for any affine invariant manifold of translation surfaces, almost every translation surface has quadratic growth for the saddle connection holonomy vectors, with an…
