We determine the number of cusps of minimal Picard modular surfaces. The proof also counts cusps of other Picard modular surfaces of arithmetic interest. Consequently, for each N > 0 there are finitely many commensurability classes of nonuniform arithmetic lattices in SU(2, 1) that contain an N-cusped surface. We also …

Fuchsian groups with a modular embedding have the richest arithmetic properties among non-arithmetic Fuchsian groups.

In Part I of this paper we study the arithmetic properties of the modular embedding and deve…

A hyperbolic conjugacy class in the modular group PSL(2,Z) corresponds to a closed geodesic in the modular orbifold. Some of these geodesics virtually bound immersed surfaces, and some do not; the distinction is related to the polyhedral structure in the unit ball of the stable commutator length norm. We prove the foll…

The framed little 2-discs operad is homotopy equivalent to a cyclic operad.

Our aim is to introduce and advocate non-ΣΣ (non-symmetric) modular operads. While ordinary modular operads were inspired by the structure of the moduli space of stable complex curves, non-ΣΣ modular operads model surfaces with open strings outputs. An immediate application of our theory is a short proof that the mod…
