Masur-Veech volume of the gothic locus

We calculate the Masur-Veech volume of the gothic locus $\mathcal{G}$ in the stratum $\mathcal{H}(2^{3})$ of genus four. Our method is based on the use of the formulae for the Euler characteristics of gothic Teichmüller curves to determine the number of lattice points of given area. We also use this method to recalculate the Masur-Veech volumes of the Prym loci $\mathcal{P}_{3}\subset\mathcal{H}(4)$ and $\mathcal{P}_{4}\subset\mathcal{H}(6)$ in genus three and four.

Euler characteristics of Gothic Teichmüller curves

We compute the Euler characteristics of the recently discovered series of Gothic Teichmüller curves. The main tool is the construction of 'Gothic' Hilbert modular forms vanishing at the images of these Teichmüller curves. Contrary to all previously known examples, the Euler characteristic is not proportional to the Euler characteristic of the ambient Hilbert modular surfaces. This results in interesting 'varying' phenomena for Lyapunov exponents.

Orbifold points on Prym-Teichmüller curves in genus four

For each discriminant $D>1$, McMullen constructed the Prym-Teichmüller curves $W_D(4)$ and $W_D(6)$ in $\mathcal{M}_{3}$ and $\mathcal{M}_{4}$, which constitute one of the few known infinite families of geometrically primitive Teichmüller curves. In the present paper, we determine for each $D$ the number and type of orbifold points on $W_D(6)$. These results, together with a previous result of the two authors in the genus $3$ case and with results of Lanneau-Nguyen and Möller, complete the topological characterisation of all Prym-Teichmüller curves and determine their genus. The study of orbifold points relies on the analysis of intersections of $W_D(6)$ with certain families of genus $4$ curves with extra automorphisms. As a side product of this study, we give an explicit construction of such families and describe their Prym-Torelli images, which turn out to be isomorphic to certain products of elliptic curves. We also give a geometric description of the flat surfaces associated to these families and describe the asymptotics of the genus of $W_D(6)$ for large $D$.

Orbifold points on Prym-Teichmüller curves in genus three

Prym-Teichmüller curves $W_D(4)$ constitute the main examples of known primitive Teichmüller curves in the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3$. We determine, for each non-square discriminant $D>1$, the number and type of orbifold points in $W_D(4)$. These results, together with the formulas of Lanneau-Nguyen and Möller for the number of cusps and the Euler characteristic, complete the topological characterisation of Prym-Teichmüller curves in genus 3. Crucial for the determination of the orbifold points is the analysis of families of genus 3 cyclic covers of degree $4$ and $6$, branched over four points of $\mathbb{P}^1$. As a side product of our study, we provide an explicit description of the Jacobians and the Prym-Torelli images of these two families, together with a description of the corresponding flat surfaces.

Beauville surfaces with abelian Beauville group

A Beauville surface is a rigid surface of general type arising as a quotient of a product of curves $C_{1}$, $C_{2}$ of genera $g_{1},g_{2}\ge 2$ by the free action of a finite group $G$. In this paper we study those Beauville surfaces for which $G$ is abelian (so that $G\cong \mathbb{Z}_{n}^{2}$ with $\gcd(n,6)=1$ by a result of Catanese). For each such $n$ we are able to describe all such surfaces, give a formula for the number of their isomorphism classes and identify their possible automorphism groups. This explicit description also allows us to observe that such surfaces are all defined over $\mathbb{Q}$.
