Let $F_g$ be a closed orientable surface of genus $g$. A set $Omega = { gamma_1, dots, gamma_s}$ of pairwise non-homotopic simple closed curves on $F_g$ is called a emph{filling system} or simply a emph{filling} of $F_g$, if $F_gsetminus Omega$ is a union of $b$ topological discs for some $bgeq 1$. A filling system is called emph{minimal}, if $b=1$. The emph{size} of a filling is defined as the number of its elements. We prove that the maximum size of a filling of $F_g$ with $b$ complementary discs is $2g+b-1$. Next, we show that for $ggeq 2, bgeq 1text{ with }(g,b) eq (2,1)$ (resp. $(g,b)=(2,1)$) and for each $2leq sleq 2g+b-1$ (resp. $3leq sleq 2g+b-1$), there exists a filling of $F_g$ of size $s$ with $b$ complementary discs. Furthermore, we study geometric intersection number of curves in a minimal filling. For $ggeq 2$, we show that for a minimal filling $Omega$ of size $s$, the emph{geometric intersection numbers} satisfy $max leftlbrace i(gamma_i, gamma_j)| i eq jrightrbraceleq 2g-s+1$, and for each such $s$ there exists a minimal filling $Omega=leftlbrace gamma_1, dots, gamma_s rightrbrace$ such that $maxleftlbrace i(gamma_i, gamma_j) | i eq jrightrbrace = 2g-s+1$.
This note is about a type of quantitative density of closed geodesics on closed hyperbolic surfaces. The main results are upper bounds on the length of the shortest closed geodesic that $varepsilon$-fills the surface.
Let $F_g$ denote a closed oriented surface of genus $g$. A set of simple closed curves is called a filling of $F_g$ if its complement is a disjoint union of discs. The mapping class group $text{Mod}(F_g)$ of genus $g$ acts on the set of fillings of $
The loop graph of an infinite type surface is an infinite diameter hyperbolic graph first studied in detail by Juliette Bavard. An important open problem in the study of infinite type surfaces is to describe the boundary of the loop graph as a space
We introduce the concept of a bridge trisection of a neatly embedded surface in a compact four-manifold, generalizing previous work with Alexander Zupan in the setting of closed surfaces in closed four-manifolds. Our main result states that any neatl
A pair $(alpha, beta)$ of simple closed geodesics on a closed and oriented hyperbolic surface $M_g$ of genus $g$ is called a filling pair if the complementary components of $alphacupbeta$ in $M_g$ are simply connected. The length of a filling pair is
