Shortest filling geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces
Abstract
In this paper, we obtain the minimal length of a filling (multi-)geodesic on a genus g hyperbolic surface in the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces and show that it is realized by the geodesic whose complement is a right-angled regular (8g-4)-gon. A single geodesic realizing this minimum is provided.
