Irrationality of the length spectrum

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

It is a classical result of Dal’Bo that the length spectrum of a non-elementary Fuchsian group is nonarithmetic, namely, it generates a dense additive subgroup of R. In this note we provide an elementary proof of an extension of this theorem: a non-elementary Fuchsian group contains two elements whose lengths are linearly independent over Q, reproving a result of Prasad and Rapinchuk [9].
