The Lattice Triangle Problem in the Hard Obtuse Window

The lattice triangle problem asks which rational triangles unfold to Veech surfaces; in the hard obtuse window it is conjectured that none do. Via an arithmetic reformulation of the Mirzakhani-Wright rank obstruction, the paper rules out all but a density-0 subset of triangles in that window.

The lattice triangle problem asks which rational triangles unfold to Veech surfaces; in the hard obtuse window it is conjectured that none do. Via an arithmetic reformulation of the Mirzakhani-Wright rank obstruction, the paper rules out all but a density-0 subset of triangles in that window.

A density-1 obstruction, not a full resolution: the conjecture that the hard window contains no lattice triangles remains open on a density-0 set.
