Oblivious points on translation surfaces

Creative Commons 'BY' version 4.0 license
Abstract

An oblivious point on a translation surface is a point with no closed geodesic passing through it. Nguyen, Pan, and Su (2017) showed that there are at most finitely many oblivious points on any given translation surface and constructed a family of surfaces with exactly one oblivious point. We construct new families of translation surfaces with arbitrarily many oblivious points and prove that there is a translation surface in every genus $\ge3$ with an oblivious point.
