Flat Surfaces with Finite Holonomy Groups
We prove that flow of a generic geodesic on a flat surface with finite holonomy group is ergodic. We use this result to prove that flows of generic billiards on certain flat surfaces with boundary…
Periodic geodesics on generic translation surfaces
The objective of the paper is to study properties of periodic geodesics on translation surfaces that hold for generic elements of the moduli space of translation surfaces. 2000 Mathematics Subject…
Clustering of Eigenvalues on Translation Surfaces
Abstract.We consider Riemannian surfaces in which there are many embedded Euclidean cylinders. We show that quantitative assumptions on the number of such cylinders provide estimates for the counting…

We answered a question by Barak Weiss on the uniform discreteness of the holonomy vectors of translation surfaces.
Billiards in rectangles with barriers
We use Ratner's theorem to compute the asymptotics of the number of (cylinders of) periodic trajectories in a rectangle with a barrier, assuming that the location p/q of the barrier is rational. We…
Billiards in L-Shaped Tables with Barriers
We compute the volumes of the eigenform loci in the moduli space of genus-two Abelian differentials. From this, we obtain asymptotic formulas for counting closed billiards paths in certain L-shaped…
Counting closed geodesics in moduli space
We compute the asymptotics, as R tends to infinity, of the number of closed geodesics in Moduli space of length at most R, or equivalently the number of pseudo-Anosov elements of the mapping class…

We prove quantitative recurrence and large deviations results for the Teichmuller geodesic flow on connected components of strata of the moduli space Qg of holomorphic unit-area quadratic…

Asymptotics of numbers of branched coverings of a torus and volumes of moduli spaces of holomorphic differentials
We compute the asymptotics of the number of connected branched coverings of a torus as their degree goes to infinity and the ramification type stays fixed. These numbers are equal to the volumes of…

Abstract Suppose q is a holomorphic quadratic differential on a compact Riemann surface of genus g ≥ 2. Then q defines a metric, flat except at the zeroes. A saddle connection is a geodesic joining…
