Minimally intersecting filling pairs on the punctured surface of genus two

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle (Academic Journal)peer-review

Abstract

In this short note, we construct a minimally intersecting pair of simple closed curves that fill a genus 2 surface with an odd, at least 3, number of punctures. This finishes the determination of minimally intersecting filling pairs for all surfaces completing the work of Aougab–Huang and Aougab–Taylor.
