Bolza-like surfaces in the Thurston set

Abstract: A surface in the Teichm\"uller space, where the systole function admits its maximum, is called a maximal surface. For genus two, a unique maximal surface exists, which is called the Bolza surface, whose systolic geodesics give a triangulation of the surface. We define a surface as Bolza-like if its systolic geodesics decompose the surface into $(p, q, r)$-triangles for some integers $p,q,r$. In this article, we will provide a construction of Bolza-like surfaces for infinitely many genera $g\geq 9$. Next, we see an intriguing application of Bolza-like surfaces. In particular, we construct global maximal surfaces using these Bolza-like surfaces. Furthermore, we study a symmetric property satisfied by the systolic geodesics of our Bolza-like surfaces. We show that any simple closed geodesic intersects the systolic geodesics at an even number of points.
