Counting curves on surfaces
De Juan Souto
An old theorem of Huber asserts that the number of closed geodesics of length at most L on a hyperbolic surface is asymptotic to $\frac{e^L}L$. However, things are less clear if one either fixes the type of the curve, possibly changing the notion of length, or if one counts types of curves. Here, two curves are of the same type if they differ by a mapping class. I will describe some results in these directions.
