Counting geodesics of given commutator length

Let $\Sigma $ be a closed hyperbolic surface. We study, for fixed g, the asymptotics of the number of those periodic geodesics in $\Sigma $ having at most length L and which can be written as the product of g commutators. The basic idea is to reduce these results to being able to count...
