Ideal tilings and symbolic dynamics for negatively curved surfaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 September 2011
Abstract
Let X be a non-compact surface (or 2-orbifold) of finite type with a metric of strictly negative curvature. Using an ideal tiling of the universal cover of X, we give a symbolic description of the recurrent geodesics on X. This extends Series’s method of coding geodesics on the modular surface.
