By the results of G. Forni and of R. Trevi\~no, the Lyapunov spectrum of the Hodge bundle over the Teichm\"uller geodesic flow on the strata of Abelian and of quadratic differentials does not contain zeroes even though for certain invariant…
We show an upper bound for the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents of any Teichm\"uller curve in strata of quadratic differentials with at least one zero of large multiplicity. As a corollary, it holds for any $SL(2,\mathbb R)$-invariant…
We study the Lyapunov spectrum of the Kontsevich--Zorich cocycle on $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$-invariant subbundles of the Hodge bundle over the support of a $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$-invariant probability measure on the moduli space of Abelian…
We describe the Harder--Narasimhan filtration of the Hodge bundle for Teichm\"uller curves in the non-varying strata of quadratic differentials appearing in [CM2]. Moreover, we show that the Hodge bundle on the non-varying strata away from…
We prove that if the Lyapunov spectrum of the Kontsevich-Zorich cocycle over an affine SL$(2,\mathbb{R})$-invariant submanifold is completely degenerate, i.e. $\lambda_2 = \cdots = \lambda_g = 0$, then the submanifold must be an arithmetic…
We consider Lyapunov exponents for flat bundles over hyperbolic curves defined via parallel transport over the geodesic flow. We refine a lower bound obtained by Eskin, Kontsevich, Moeller and Zorich showing that the sum of the first k…
We classify the GL(2,R)-invariant subvarieties M in strata of Abelian differentials for which any two M-parallel cylinders have homologous core curves. This answers a question of Mirzakhani and Wright. As a corollary we show that outside of…
A cyclic cover over the Riemann sphere branched at four points inherits a natural flat structure from the "pillow" flat structure on the basic sphere. We give an explicit formula for all individual Lyapunov exponents of the Hodge bundle…
We get an upper bound of the slope of each graded quotient for the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the Hodge bundle of a Teichm\"{u}ller curve. As an application, we show that the sum of Lyapunov exponents of a Teichm\"{u}ller curve does…
Consider a flat bundle over a complex curve. We prove a conjecture of Fei Yu that the sum of the top k Lyapunov exponents of the flat bundle is always greater or equal to the degree of any rank k holomorphic subbundle. We generalize the…
We study Lyapunov exponents for flat bundles over hyperbolic curves defined via parallel transport over the geodesic flow. We consider them as invariants on the space of Hitchin representations and show that there is a gap between any two…
Inspired by Katz-Mazur theorem on crystalline cohomology and by Eskin-Kontsevich-Zorich's numerical experiments, we conjecture that the polygon of Lyapunov spectrum lies above (or on) the Harder-Narasimhan polygon of the Hodge bundle over…
In this note we show that the results of H. Furstenberg on the Poisson boundary of lattices of semisimple Lie groups allow to deduce simplicity properties of the Lyapunov spectrum of the Kontsevich-Zorich cocycle of Teichmueller curves in…
We consider normal covers of CP^1 with abelian deck group, branched over at most four points. Families of such covers yield arithmetic Teichm\"uller curves, whose period mapping may be described geometrically in terms of Schwarz triangle…
We study the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structure associated with families of reduced algebraic curves with singularities. The analysis applies to curves beyond the nodal case and is not restricted to plane curves, encompassing curves…
The sum of Lyapunov exponents $L_f$ of a semi-stable fibration is the ratio of the degree of the Hodge bundle by the Euler characteristic of the base. This ratio is bounded from above by the Arakelov inequality. Sheng-Li Tan showed that for…
We prove the Zorich-Kontsevich conjecture that the non-trivial Lyapunov exponents of the Teichm\"uller flow on (any connected component of a stratum of) the moduli space of Abelian differentials on compact Riemann surfaces are all distinct.…
We study the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structure for families of algebraic curves and extend the classical theory from smooth curves to singular and non--planar settings. Using the deformation space $\mathrm{Ext}^1(\Omega_X,\mathcal…
We construct some examples of origamis (square-tiled surfaces) such that the Hodge bundles over the corresponding SL(2,R)-orbits on the moduli space admit non-trivial isotropic SL(2,R)-invariant subbundles. This answers a question posed to…
A symplectic bundle over an algebraic curve has a natural invariant $\sLag$ determined by the maximal degree of its Lagrangian subbundles. This can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Segre invariants of a vector bundle. We give…
