Generalized Staircases: Recurrence and Symmetry

W. Patrick Hooper, Barak Weiss (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study infinite translation surfaces which are ℤ -covers of compact translation surfaces. We obtain conditions ensuring that such surfaces have Veech groups which are Fuchsian of the first kind and give a necessary and sufficient condition for recurrence of their straight-line flows. Extending results of Hubert and Schmithüsen, we provide examples of infinite non-arithmetic lattice surfaces, as well as surfaces with infinitely generated Veech groups.

Invariants of translation surfaces

Pascal Hubert, Thomas A. Schmidt (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We definite invariants of translation surfaces which refine Veech groups. These aid in exact determination of Veech groups. We give examples where two surfaces of isomorphic Veech group cannot even share a common tree of balanced affine coverings. We also show that there exist translation surfaces of isomorphic Veech groups which cannot affinely cover any common surface. We also extend a result of Gutkin and Judge and thereby give the first examples of noncompact...

Moduli spaces of abelian differentials : the principal boundary, counting problems, and the Siegel-Veech constants

Alex Eskin, Howard Masur, Anton Zorich (2003)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Similarity:

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...

Effects of substrate and graphene surface roughness on graphene sheet plasmons

Keenan Lyon, Z.L. Miškovic (2014)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

Similarity:

We study the effects of roughness in a graphene layer that lies on a substrate with rough surface on the dynamic response of such a structure. Using an analytical expression for the dielectric function of flat graphene in the optical limit allows us to tackle the effects of roughness on the sheet plasmon in graphene. We first formulate a stochastic eigenvalue problem for the plasmon dispersion in terms of the roughness parameters that include both the auto– and the cross–correlation...
