Euler characteristics of Gothic Teichm\"uller curves
Abstract
We compute the Euler characteristics of the recently discovered series of Gothic Teichm\"uller curves. The main tool is the construction of 'Gothic' Hilbert modular forms vanishing at the images of these Teichm\"uller curves. Contrary to all previously known examples, the Euler characteristic is not proportional to the Euler characteristic of the ambient Hilbert modular surfaces. This results in interesting 'varying' phenomena for Lyapunov exponents.
