Graphs of Large Girth and Surfaces of Large Systole (1512.06839v1)
Published 21 Dec 2015 in math.GT, math.CO, math.DG, and math.NT
Abstract: The systole of a hyperbolic surface is bounded by a logarithmic function of its genus. This bound is sharp, in that there exist sequences of surfaces with genera tending to infinity that attain logarithmically large systoles. These are constructed by taking congruence covers of arithmetic surfaces. In this article we provide a new construction for a sequence of surfaces with systoles that grow logarithmically in their genera. We do this by combining a construction for graphs of large girth and a count of the number of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ matrices with positive entries and bounded trace.
