Abstract

We construct an explicit family of arithmetic Teichmüller curves 𝒞 2 k , k ∈ ℕ , supporting SL ( 2 , ℝ ) -invariant probabilities μ 2 k such that the associated SL ( 2 , ℝ ) -representation on  L 2 ( 𝒞 2 k , μ 2 k ) has complementary series for every k ≥ 3 . Actually, the size of the spectral gap along this family goes to zero. In particular, the Teichmüller geodesic flow restricted to these explicit arithmetic Teichmüller curves 𝒞 2 k has arbitrarily slow rate of exponential mixing.

Actually, the size of the spectral gap along this family goes to zero. In particular, the Teichmüller geodesic flow restricted to these explicit arithmetic Teichmüller curves $\mathcal {C}_{2k}$ has arbitrarily slow rate of exponential mixing.
