Navigating moduli space with complex twists

Curtis McMullen (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We discuss a common framework for studying twists of Riemann surfaces coming from earthquakes, Teichmüller theory and Schiffer variations, and use it to analyze geodesics in the moduli space of isoperiodic 1-forms.

Riemann compatible tensors

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Derdziński and Shen's theorem on the restrictions on the Riemann tensor imposed by existence of a Codazzi tensor holds more generally when a Riemann compatible tensor exists. Several properties are shown to remain valid in this broader setting. Riemann compatibility is equivalent to the Bianchi identity for a new "Codazzi deviation tensor", with a geometric significance. The above general properties are studied, with their implications on Pontryagin forms. Examples are given of manifolds...

A remark on the homotopical dimension of some moduli spaces of stable Riemann surfaces

Gabriele Mondello (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Using a result of Harer, we prove certain upper bounds for the homotopical/cohomological dimension of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces of compact type, of Riemann surfaces with rational tails and of Riemann surfaces with at most k rational components. These bounds would follow from conjectures of Looijenga and Roth–Vakil.
