abstract

In 2021, Chen proved a congruence for the degree of a certain map on the space of covers of elliptic curves. He concluded as a corollary that the size of any connected component of the Markoff mod $p$ graph is divisible by $p$. In combination with the work of Bourgain, Gamburd, and Sarnak, Chen's result proves a conjecture of Baragar for all but finitely many primes: the Markoff mod $p$ graph is connected. In this note, we provide an alternative proof for the Markoff corollary of Chen's theorem.
