Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we use the coding developed by R. Bowen and C. Series to compute the number of self-intersections of a closed geodesic on a pair of pants. We give upper bounds on the number of self-intersections of a closed geodesic on a pair of pants. We prove a conjecture of Moira Chas and Anthony Phillips (Exp Math 21(1):26–37, 2012). We get also bounds for the number of closed geodesics whose self-intersection number is very close to the maximal self-intersection number on a pair of pants.KeywordsClosed geodesicsSchottkySelf-intersection
