Monodromy groups of dessins d'enfant on rational triangular billiards surfaces

Madison Mabe, Richard A. Moy, Jason Schmurr and Japheth Varlack

Vol. 16 (2023), No. 1, 49–58
Abstract

A dessin d’enfant, or dessin, is a bicolored graph embedded into a Riemann surface, and the monodromy group is an algebraic invariant of the dessin generated by rotations of edges about black and white vertices. A rational billiards surface is a two-dimensional surface that allows one to view the path of a billiards ball as a continuous path. We classify the monodromy groups of dessins associated to rational triangular billiards surfaces.
