Mar 15, 2017 at 2:39 comment added rpotrie @HJRW Yes, that would be great! Even if you don't get to where we want, explaining that a bit more would help.
Mar 14, 2017 at 22:38 comment added HJRW I can construct a cover with the property that only lifts of your favouite curve have length $\ell$, and all other sccs have length greater than any fixed $K$. It should be relatively easy to get from there to what you want. I'll try to work out the details in the morning.

Mar 14, 2017 at 0:49 comment added Igor Rivin Yes, that's right, I was asleep, BUT I believe that what I said makes sense for regular covers.
Mar 14, 2017 at 0:34 comment added rpotrie @IgorRivin The unique (simple closed) geodesic of length $\leq \ell$ is in $\hat S$, so it projects to some curve $\gamma$ of length $\leq \ell$ in $S$. Clearly, the preimage of $\gamma$ by $p$ has many other preimages which are longer than $K$ in addition to the 'short' one. For other curves of length $\leq K$ in $S$ different from $\gamma$, \textit{all} the preimages in $\hat S$ must have length $\geq K$. Did I understand right?
Mar 13, 2017 at 23:37 comment added Igor Rivin I am a little confused. If there is a unique geodesic of length $\leq \ell,$ then what exactly would cover it? Either the cover is connected (so you lose $\leq \ell,$ or not, so you lose uniqueness. Am I missing something?
