Closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces with few intersections
Abstract
We prove that, if a closed geodesic on a complete finite type hyperbolic surface has at least 2 self-intersections, then the length of has an lower bound 2(5+26), and the lower bound is sharp, attained on a corkscrew geodesic on a thrice punctured sphere.
