To appear in GAFA", "journal": "GAFA 23 (2013), 1705-1729", "categories": [ "math.DS" ], "abstract": "In the moduli space $H_g$ of normalized translation surfaces of genus $g$, consider, for a small parameter $\\rho >0$, those translation surfaces which have two non-parallel saddle-connections of length $\\leq \\rho$. We prove that this subset of $H_g$ has measure $o(\\rho^2)$ w.r.t. any probability measure on $H_g$ which is invariant under the natural action of $SL(2,R)$. This implies that any such probability measure is regular, a property which is important in relation with the recent fundamental work of Eskin-Kontsevich-Zorich on the Lyapunov exponents of the KZ-cocycle.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-06-29T15:30:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "probability measure", "moduli space", "lyapunov exponents", "small parameter", "non-parallel saddle-connections" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.4091A" } } }
