Systolic geometry of translation surfaces

In this paper we investigate the systolic landscape of translation surfaces for fixed genus and fixed angles of their cone points. We furthermore study how the systoles of a translation surface relate to the systoles of its graph of saddle connections. This allows us to develop an algorithm to compute the systolic ratio of origamis in the stratum $\mathcal{H}(1,1)$. We compute the maximal systolic ratio of all origamis in $\mathcal{H}(1,1)$ with up to 67 squares. These computations support a conjecture of Judge and Parlier about the maximal systolic ratio in $\mathcal{H}(1,1)$.
