A holomorphic 1-form on a compact Riemann surface S naturally defines a flat metric on S with cone-type singularities. We present the following surprising phenomenon: having found a geodesic segment (saddle connection) joining a pair of conical points one can find with a nonzero probability another saddle connection on S having the same direction and the same length as the initial one. A similar phenomenon is valid for the families of parallel closed geodesics. We give a complete description...

Quadratic forms and singularities of genus one or two

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We study singularities obtained by the contraction of the maximal divisor in compact (non-kählerian) surfaces which contain global spherical shells. These singularities are of genus 1 or 2, may be ℚ -Gorenstein, numerically Gorenstein or Gorenstein. A family of polynomials depending on the configuration of the curves computes the discriminants of the quadratic forms of these singularities. We introduce a multiplicative branch topological invariant which determines the twisting coefficient...
