Title: Short closed geodesics on cusped hyperbolic surfaces
Abstract: We consider the set of closed geodesics on cusped hyperbolic surfaces. Given any non-negative integer k, we are interested in the set of closed geodesics with at least k self-intersections. Among these, we investigate those of minimal length. In this talk, we will discuss their self-intersection numbers.
