Dilation surfaces, or twisted quadratic differentials, are variants of translation surfaces. In this paper, we study the question of what elements or subgroups of the mapping class group can be realized as affine automorphisms of dilation surfaces. We show that dilation surfaces can have exotic Dehn twists in their affine automorphism groups and will establish that only certain types of mapping class group elements can arise as affine automorphisms of dilation surfaces. We also generalize a construction of Thurston that constructs a translation surface from a pair of filling multicurves to dilation surfaces. This construction will give us dilation surfaces that realize a pair of Dehn multitwists in their affine automorphism groups.

The smooth (resp. metric and complex) Nielsen Realization Problem for K3 surfaces $M$ asks: when can a finite group $G$ of mapping classes of $M$ be realized by a finite group of diffeomorphisms (resp. isometries of a Ricci-flat metric, or automorphisms of a complex structure)? We solve the metric and compl
For each stratum of the space of translation surfaces, we introduce an infinite translation surface containing in an appropriate manner a copy of every translation surface of the stratum. Given a translation surface $(X, omega)$ in the stratum, a matrix is in its Veech group $mathrm{SL}(X,omega)$ if and only if an associated affine automorphism of the infinite surface sends each of a finite set, the ``marked {em Voronoi staples}, arising from orientation-paired segments appropriately perpendicular to Voronoi 1-cells, to another pair of orientation-paired ``marked segments. We prove a result of independent interest. For each real $age sqrt{2}$ there is an explicit hyperbolic ball such that for any Fuchsian group trivially stabilizing $i$, the Dirichlet domain centered at $i$ of the group already agrees within the ball with the intersection of the hyperbolic half-planes determined by the group elements whose Frobenius norm is at most $a$. %When $mathrm{SL}(X,omega)$ is a lattice we use this to give a condition guaranteeing that the full group $mathrm{SL}(X,omega)$ has been computed. Together, these results give rise to a new algorithm for computing Veech groups.
A Riemann surface $X$ is said to be of emph{parabolic type} if it supports a Greens function. Equivalently, the geodesic flow on the unit tangent of $X$ is ergodic. Given a Riemann surface $X$ of arbitrary topological type and a hyperbolic pants decomposition of $X$ we obtain sufficient conditions for parabolicity of $X$ in terms of the Fenchel-Nielsen parameters of the decomposition. In particular, we initiate the study of the effect of twist parameters on parabolicity. A key ingredient in our work is the notion of textit{non standard half-collar} about a hyperbolic geodesic. We show that the modulus of such a half-collar is much larger than the modulus of a standard half-collar as the hyperbolic length of the core geodesic tends to infinity. Moreover, the modulus of the annulus obtained by gluing two non standard half-collars depends on the twist parameter, unlike in the case of standard collars. Our results are sharp in many cases. For instance, for zero-twist flute surfaces as well as half-twist flute surfaces with concave sequences of lengths our results provide a complete characterization of parabolicity in terms of the length parameters. It follows that parabolicity is equivalent to completeness in these cases. Applications to other topological types such as surfaces with infinite genus and one end (a.k.a. the infinite Loch-Ness monster), the ladder surface, Abelian covers of compact surfaces are also studied.
Let $Sigma$ be a hyperbolic surface. We study the set of curves on $Sigma$ of a given type, i.e. in the mapping class group orbit of some fixed but otherwise arbitrary $gamma_0$. For example, in the particular case that $Sigma$ is a once-punctured torus, we prove that the cardinality of the set of curves of type $gamma_0$ and of at most length $L$ is asymptotic to $L^2$ times a constant.
We give a complete characterization of the relationship between the shape of a Euclidean polygon and the symbolic dynamics of its billiard flow. We prove that the only pairs of tables that can have the same bounce spectrum are right-angled tables that differ by an affine map. The main tool is a new theorem that establishes that a flat cone metric is completely determined by the support of its Liouville current.
