Growth Rate Of Dehn Twist Lattice Points In Teichm\"{u}ller Space
Athreya, Bufetov, Eskin and Mirzakhani [2] have shown the number of mapping class group lattice points intersecting a closed ball of radius R in Teichmüller space is asymptotic to e, where h is the
Counting curves in hyperbolic surfaces
• Mathematics

Let $${\Sigma}$$Σ be a hyperbolic surface. We study the set of curves on $${\Sigma}$$Σ of a given type, i.e. in the mapping class group orbit of some fixed but otherwise arbitrary $${\gamma_0}$$γ0.

Recall that two geodesics in a negatively curved surface S are of the same type if their free homotopy classes differ by a homeomorphism of the surface. In this note we study the distribution in
Counting arcs on hyperbolic surfaces.
We give the asymptotic growth of the number of (multi-)arcs of bounded length between boundary components on complete finite-area hyperbolic surfaces with boundary. Specifically, if $S$ has genus

A meander is a topological configuration of a line and a simple closed curve in the plane (or a pair of simple closed curves on the 2-sphere) intersecting transversally. Meanders can be traced back
Mirzakhani's Curve Counting

Mirzakhani wrote two papers on counting curves of given type on a surface: one for simple curves, and one for arbitrary ones. We give a complete argument deriving Mirzakhani's result for general
