Simple curves on surfaces

Igor Rivin

Published 1999-07-07, updated 1999-07-27Version 2

We show that the number of simple closed geodesics of length bounded by L on a hyperbolic surface of genus g with c cusps and b boundary components grows roughly like L^{6g+2b+2c-6}. This has been conjectured for some time.
