Revised 2009.0894-0347http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:3446007This paper exhibits an infinite collection of algebraic curves isometrically embedded in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus two. These Teichmüller curves lie on Hilbert modular surfaces parameterizing Abelian varieties with real multiplication. Explicit examples, constructed from L-shaped polygons, give billiard tables with optimal dynamical properties.en-USJournal Article2009-12-2110.1090/S0894-0347-03-00432-6
