An algorithm for finding the Veech group of an origami
Abstract
Description
We study the Veech group of an origami, i.e. of a translation surface, tessellated by parallelograms. We show that it is isomorphic to the image of a certain subgroup of Aut(F_2) in SL_2(Z) = Out^+(F_2). Based on this we present an algorithm that determines the Veech group.
