چکیده
In the moduli space of quadratic differentials over complex structures on a surface, we construct a set of full Hausdorff dimension of points with bounded Teichmüller geodesic trajectories. The main tool is quantitative nondivergence of Teichmüller horocycles, due to Minsky and Weiss. This has an application to billiards in rational polygons.

متن کاملEXISTENCE OF CLOSED GEODESICS ON THE MODULI SPACE OF k-MONOPOLES
We establish the existence of non-constant closed geodesics on moduli spaces of SU(2) monopoles of arbitrary charge. More generally, we show that the moduli space of strongly centred monopoles of charge k, k 2, contains a totally geodesic submanifold which can be identiied with the moduli space of strongly centred 2-monopoles for even k's and with the moduli space of centred 2-monopoles for odd...
متن کاملRenormalisation Flow and Geodesics on the Moduli Space of Four Dimensional N = 2 Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theory
It is shown that the β-functions for four dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric YangMills theory without matter give integral curves on the moduli space some of which are geodesics of the natural metric on the moduli space. In particular the flow lines which cross-over from from the weak coupling limit (asymptotically free theory) to the singular points, representing the strong coupling limit, are g...
متن کاملScaling solutions and geodesics in moduli space
In this paper we consider cosmological scaling solutions in general relativity coupled to scalar fields with a non-trivial moduli space metric. We discover that the scaling property of the cosmology is synonymous with the scalar fields tracing out a particular class of geodesics in moduli space-those which are constructed as integral curves of the gradient of the log of the potential. Given a g...
متن کاملOn the Number and Location of Short Geodesics in Moduli Space
A closed Teichmüller geodesic in the moduli space Mg of Riemann surfaces of genus g is called L-short if it has length at most L/g. We show that for any L > 0 there exist R > ǫ > 0, independent of g, so that the L-short geodesics in Mg all lie in the intersection of the ǫ-thick part and the R-thin part. We also estimate the number of L-short geodesics in Mg, bounding this from above and below b...
