Nonsimple closed geodesics with given intersection number on hyperbolic surfaces

Abstract

We prove that the minimal length of a closed geodesic with self-intersection number k on any finite-type hyperbolic surface is 2-1(1+2k) for k>1750. This improves the previously known threshold k > 1013350. Our proof is independent of it.
