A family of quaternionic monodromy groups of the Kontsevich–Zorich cocycle
Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu – Paris Rive Gauche, UMR 7586, Bátiment Sophie Germain, 75205 PARIS Cedex 13, France |
For all $ d $ belonging to a density-$ 1/8 $ subset of the natural numbers, we give an example of a square-tiled surface conjecturally realizing the group $ \mathrm{SO}^*(2d) $ in its standard representation as the Zariski-closure of a factor of its monodromy. We prove that this conjecture holds for the first elements of this subset, showing that the group $ \mathrm{SO}^*(2d) $ is realizable for every $ 11 \leq d \leq 299 $ such that $ d = 3 \bmod 8 $, except possibly for $ d = 35 $ and $ d = 203 $.

Figure 2.
An illustration of $\widetilde{X}^{(3)}$ showing its four singularities. Horizontally, the each copy of $X^{(3)}$ is cyclically glued to the copy on its right or left, but this does not hold for the vertical gluings (as the top sides of $X_k^{(3)}$ , for example, are glued to the bottom sides of $X_{-i}^{(3)}$ )
Figure 3.
The $\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb{Z})$ -orbit of $X^{(d)}$ using $T$ and $S$ as generators. It consists of three distinct square-tiled surfaces, which we call $Z^{(d)}$ , $X^{(d)}$ and $Y^{(d)}$ from left to right. The labels in the $Y^{(d)}$ and $Z^{(d)}$ show the identification of the sides. Unlabelled horizontal sides are identified with the only horizontal having the same horizontal coordinates, and similarly for unlabelled vertical sides
