Square-tiled surfaces coming from platonic solids

Abstract
Square-tiled surfaces are a special kinds of surfaces obtained by gluing unit squares, and can be defined in a purely combinatorial way. By a standard construction, most platonic solids induce a square-tiled surface. In this talk, we discuss the dynamical properties of these surfaces.
