Leading-term conjecture for volumes of (1,k)-annuli
Let denote the volume of the moduli space of -annuli, viewed as a polynomial in . Here is a positive integer. Leading-term conjecture for annular volumes. The leading term is
when is odd of the form , and the leading term is
when the annulus has type . These formulas are proposed from computed volume values; their validity for all indicated values of remains open.
