We show that Masur's logarithmic law of geodesics in the moduli space of translation surfaces does not imply unique ergodicity of the translation flow, but that a similar law involving the flat systole of a Teichm\"{u}ller geodesic does imply unique ergodicity. It shows that the flat geometry has a better control on ergodic properties of translation flow than hyperbolic geometry.

A characterization of short curves of a Teichmuller geodesic
We provide a combinatorial condition characterizing curves that are short along a Teichmuller geodesic. This condition is closely related to the condition pro- vided by Minsky for curves in aExpand

We prove that the set of bounded geodesics in Teichmuller space are a winning set for Schmidt's game. This is a notion of largeness in a metric space that can apply to measure 0 and meager sets. WeExpand
