Series to compute the number of self-intersections of a closed geodesic on a pair of pants. We give lower and upper bounds on the number of self-intersections of a closed geodesic on a pair of pants. We prove a conjecture of Moira Chas and Anthony Phillips in [4]. We get also bounds for the number of closed geodesics whose self-intersection number is very close to the maximal self-intersection number on a pair of pants", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-15T19:08:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "self intersections", "closed geodesic", "maximal self-intersection number", "upper bounds", "moira chas" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
