The surfaces we consider live in the stratum $\\mathcal{H}(2)$ of translation surfaces of genus $2$, with one conical point. We provide an explicit sequence $L(n,n)$ of surfaces such that $\\mbox{KVol}(L(n,n)) \\longrightarrow 2$ when $n$ goes to infinity, $2$ being the conjectured infimum for $\\mbox{KVol}$ over $\\mathcal{H}(2)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-21T14:59:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37D40", "37D50" ], "keywords": [ "translation surfaces", "algebraic intersection", "explicit sequence", "closed curves", "conical point" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
