Lipnowski–Wright's conjecture on simple and non-simple geodesics
Lipnowski–Wright's conjecture on simple and non-simple geodesics
Let be the moduli space of closed hyperbolic surfaces of genus . For a surface and , let count unoriented primitive closed geodesics of length at most , and let count those that are simple and non-separating; call a geodesic non-simple if it is not simple.
Lipnowski–Wright's conjecture. As , on most closed hyperbolic surfaces in , most geodesics of length significantly less than are simple and non-separating, whereas most geodesics of length significantly greater than are non-simple.
The conjecture concerns the transition near the scale between simple non-separating and non-simple closed geodesics on Weil–Petersson-generic large-genus surfaces. The paper's abstract says that its results confirm this conjecture, so its status is recorded as solved.
