Abstract or Keywords
In this paper we continue to investigate the systolic landscape of
translation surfaces started in [CHMW]. We show that there is an infinite
sequence of surfaces $(S_{g_k})_k$ of genus $g_k$, where $g_k \to \infty$ with
large systoles. On the other hand we show that for hyperelliptic surfaces we
can find a suitable homology basis, where a large number of loops that induce
the basis are short.
