Wild translation surfaces and infinite genus

Anja Randecker

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 18 (2018) 2661–2699
Abstract

The Gauss–Bonnet formula for classical translation surfaces relates the cone angle of the singularities (geometry) to the genus of the surface (topology). When considering more general translation surfaces, we observe so-called wild singularities for which the notion of cone angle is not applicable any more.

We study whether there still exist relations between the geometry and the topology for translation surfaces with wild singularities. By considering short saddle connections, we determine under which conditions the existence of a wild singularity implies infinite genus. We apply this to show that parabolic or essentially finite translation surfaces with wild singularities have infinite genus.
