Connection points on double regular polygons

Abstract

We study connection points on the double regular nn-gon translation surface, for n7n \geq 7 odd and its staircase model. For n9n \neq 9, we provide a large family of points with coordinates in the trace field that are not connection points. This family includes the central points, and for n=7n=7 we conjecture that all the remaining points are connection points. Further, in the case where n7n \geq 7 is a prime number, we provide a constructive proof by exhibiting an explicit separatrix passing through a central point that does not extend to a saddle connection.
