Abstract
We consider Cannon cone types for a surface group of genus $g$, and we give algebraic criteria for establishing the cone type of a given cone and of all its subcones. We also re-prove that the number of cone types is exactly $8g(2g - 1)+1.$ In the genus $2$ case, we explicitly provide the $48\times 48$ matrix of cone types, and we prove that it is primitive, hence Perron–Frobenius. Finally, we define vector-valued multiplicative functions and we show how to compute their values by means of the matrix of cone types.
