We show that for each genus there are only finitely many algebraically primitive Teichmüller curves C, such that (i) C lies in the hyperelliptic locus and (ii) C is generated by an abelian differential with two zeros of order g-1. We prove moreover that for these Teichmüller curves the trace field of the affine group is not only totally real but cyclotomic.

Pour chaque genre g fixé, on montre qu’il n’y a qu’un nombre fini de courbes de Teichmüller C algébriquement primitives telles que (i) C appartient au lieu hyperelliptique et (ii) C est engendrée par une différentielle abélienne avec deux zéros d’ordre g-1. On montre en outre que pour ces courbes de Teichmüller le corps de traces du groupe affine n’est pas seulement totalement réel mais cyclotomique.
