The illumination conjecture for modular curves
The illumination conjecture for modular curves
Let be the modular curve equipped with its square-tiling and the metric induced by the quadratic differential . Say that a point illuminates a point if a geodesic segment for the metric connects to without passing through a singularity. Illumination conjecture. The cusps of the modular curve illuminate all of except possibly some vertices of the square-tiling. This conjecture reformulates one aspect of the parity conjecture in terms of geodesic illumination on ; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
