Abstract:We compute the Zariski closure of the Kontsevich-Zorich monodromy groups arising from certain square tiled surfaces surfaces that are geometrically motivated. Specifically we consider three surfaces that emerge as translation covers of platonic solids and quotients of infinite polyhedra, and show that the Zariski closure of the monodromy group arising from each surface is equal to a power of SL(2, R).We prove our results by finding generators for the monodromy groups, using a theorem of Matheus-Yoccoz-Zmiaikou… Show more
