Abstract
In the moduli space of quadratic differentials over complex structures on a surface, we construct a set of full Hausdorff dimension of points with bounded Teichmüller geodesic trajectories.The main tool is quantitative nondivergence of Teichmüller horocycles, due to Minsky and Weiss. This has an application to billiards in rational polygons.

01Statements2 reported findingsCorrect
The thickness of the set of quadratic differentials with bounded Teichmuller geodesic, including the stated directional refinements, is correct.
Bounded geodesics form a thick set
Pages 2–3 · Theorem 1.1 · arXiv:math/0304029v1
The local stable and unstable coordinates identify bounded forward trajectories with a winning avoidance condition. Winning sets have full Hausdorff dimension in every open chart, and the local-to-global passage preserves thickness.
Full paper, version 1 ↗The slice statements use the correct orbit directions
Pages 3–5 · refined statements · arXiv:math/0304029v1
The horocyclic and rotational slices are matched to the corresponding stable or transverse coordinates, so the full-dimension conclusions occur in the dimensions claimed and do not interchange forward and two-sided boundedness.
02Proofs2 reported findingsCorrect
The Schmidt-game construction and its transfer through moduli-space coordinates are correct and complete.
The strategy avoids every short saddle connection
Pages 5–8 · Schmidt-game argument · arXiv:math/0304029v1
At each scale the strategy removes the finitely relevant resonant directions, and the separation estimate ensures that one legal move avoids all of them. The surviving point therefore has a uniform lower bound on saddle-connection lengths along the required geodesic.
Winning and dimension are transferred without a missing case
Pages 8–10 · completion of the main theorem · arXiv:math/0304029v1
The coordinate maps are locally bi-Lipschitz on the compact pieces used in the argument, so winning full dimension passes to the relevant slices and then to arbitrary open subsets of the stratum.
