Abstract

(We introduce two square-tiled surfaces, one with 8 squares inside ΩM3(2, 2), and the other with 9 squares inside ΩM4(3, 3), respectively. In these examples, the dimensions of the isotropic subspaces (in absolute homology) generated by the waist curves of the maximal cylinders in any fixed rational direction are 2 and 3 respectively. Hence, a geometrical criterion of G. Forni for the non-uniform hyperbolicity of Kontsevich-Zorich (KZ) cocycle can not be applied to these examples. Nevertheless, we prove that there are no vanishing exponents and the spectrum is simple for these two square-tiled surfaces. In particular, the non-vanishing of exponents of KZ cocycle for a regular measure doesn't imply that the support of this measure contains a completely periodic surface whose waist curves of maximal cylinders generates a Lagrangian subspace in its absolute homology.)
