Interaction-strength conjecture for Bouw-Möller surfaces with divisible parameters
Interaction-strength conjecture for Bouw-Möller surfaces with divisible parameters
Let be the Bouw-Möller surface associated with integers , and let denote the intersection number of closed curves , with and their lengths. Suppose that , , and is a multiple of . Set
Interaction-strength conjecture. For every pair of closed curves on ,
Moreover, equality is achieved by two closed curves each made of two sides of length and intersecting once. The conjecture concerns the case excluded from the preceding theorem, where the equality construction with curves intersecting twice does not apply; it would determine the algebraic interaction strength for these Bouw-Möller surfaces when is a multiple of .
