7 Sytoles of Translation Surfaces
 7.1 Computing Systoles of Origamis

7 Sytoles of Translation Surfaces

Let \(X\) be a translation surface. Then a systole of \(X\) is a shortest, simple closed, not null-homotopic geodesic of \(\overline{X}\). We denote by \(\mathrm{sys}(X)\) the length of the systole. The systolic ratio of \(X\) is the ratio \(\mathrm{SR}(X) := \mathrm{sys}(X)^2/\mathrm{area}(X)\).

7.1 Computing Systoles of Origamis

7.1-1 SystoleLength
‣ SystoleLength( O[, equilateral] )( function )

Returns: a record containing the length of the systole and its combinatorial length

Computes the length of a systole \(\gamma\) of \(\texttt{O}\) and the combinatorial length of \(\gamma\). If the optional parameter \(\texttt{equilateral}\) is true, then it is assumed that \(\texttt{O}\) consists of equilateral triangles.

gap> O := Origami((1,8,4,6,2,3,5), (2,5,7,6,8), 8);
Origami((1,8,4,6,2,3,5), (2,5,7,6,8), 8)
gap> SystoleLength(O);
rec( combinatorial_length := 1, systole := 1. )

7.1-2 SystolicRatio
‣ SystolicRatio( O[, equilateral] )( function )

Returns: a record containing the systolic ratio and the combinatorial length of the systole used in the computation

Computes the systolic ratio \(\mathrm{SR}(\texttt{O})\) of \(\texttt{O}\). If the optional parameter \(\texttt{equilateral}\) is true, then it is assumed that \(\texttt{O}\) consists of equilateral triangles.

gap> O := Origami((1,8,4,6,2,3,5), (2,5,7,6,8), 8);
Origami((1,8,4,6,2,3,5), (2,5,7,6,8), 8)
gap> SystolicRatio(O);
rec( combinatorial_length := 1, systolic_ratio := 0.125 )

7.1-3 MaximalSystolicRatioInStratum
‣ MaximalSystolicRatioInStratum( from, to, stratum[, equilateral] )( function )

Returns: a record containing the maximal systolic ratio in \(\texttt{stratum}\), an origami representing the maximum and a bool value indicating if a combinatorial length of three occured during the computation

Computes the maximal systolic ratio of all origamis from degree \(\texttt{from}\) to degree \(\texttt{to}\) in the stratum \(\texttt{stratum}\). If the optional parameter \(\texttt{equilateral}\) is true, then it is assumed that all origamis consist of equilateral triangles.

gap> MaximalSystolicRatioInStratum(4,7,[1,1]);
rec( origami := Origami((1,2)(3,4), (1,2,3,4), 4), systolic_ratio := 0.5, 
 three_occured := false )

7.1-4 MaximalSystolicRatioByDegree
‣ MaximalSystolicRatioByDegree( d[, equilateral] )( function )

Returns: a record containing the maximal systolic ratio of all origamis with degree \(\texttt{d}\), an origami representing the maximum and a bool value indicating if a combinatorial length of three occured during the computation

Computes the maximal systolic ratio of all origamis with degree \(\texttt{d}\). If the optional parameter \(\texttt{equilateral}\) is true, then it is assumed that all origamis consist of equilateral triangles.

gap> MaximalSystolicRatioByDegree(6);      
rec( origami := Origami((1,2)(3,4)(5,6), (1,2,3,4,5,6), 6), 
systolic_ratio := 0.333333, three_occured := false )

7.1-5 MaximalSystolicRatioOfList
‣ MaximalSystolicRatioOfList( origamis[, equilateral] )( function )

Returns: a record containing the maximal systolic ratio of all origamis in the list \(\texttt{origamis}\), an origami representing the maximum and a bool value indicating if a combinatorial length of three occured during the computation

Computes the maximal systolic ratio of all origamis in the list \(\texttt{origamis}\). If the optional parameter \(\texttt{equilateral}\) is true, then it is assumed that all origamis consist of equilateral triangles.

gap> o1 := Origami((1,3,5,2), (2,4,3,5), 5);
Origami((1,3,5,2), (2,4,3,5), 5)
gap> o2 := Origami((1,4,3,2,6), (1,4,5)(2,6), 6);
Origami((1,4,3,2,6), (1,4,5)(2,6), 6)
gap> origamis := [o1, o2];
[ Origami((1,3,5,2), (2,4,3,5), 5), Origami((1,4,3,2,6), (1,4,5)(2,6), 6) ]
gap> MaximalSystolicRatioOfList(origamis);
rec( origami := Origami((1,3,5,2), (2,4,3,5), 5), systolic_ratio := 0.2, 
three_occured := false )
