Abstract

An oblivious point on a translation surface is a point with no closed geodesic passing through it. Nguyen et al. (Mathematische Annalen, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00208-019-01897-2) showed that there are at most finitely many oblivious points on any given translation surface and constructed a family of surfaces with exactly one oblivious point. We construct new families of translation surfaces with arbitrarily many oblivious points and prove that there is a translation surface in every genus ≥ 3 with an oblivious point.
