Non-periodic connection points on the double regular heptagon
Non-periodic connection points on the double regular heptagon
A connection point is a point on a translation surface joined to a singularity by a saddle connection; a point is non-periodic if it is not periodic under the affine automorphism group. The double regular -gon is the translation surface obtained by gluing two regular -gons, with odd and .
Heptagon connection-point conjecture. There exist non-periodic connection points on the double regular heptagon.
The conjecture asks whether the double regular heptagon has connection points beyond the periodic points already understood; the source gives no resolution.
