Length functions and parameterizations of Teichmüller space for surfaces with cusps.
A compact Riemann surface X of genus g≥2 which admits a cyclic group of automorphisms C q of prime order q such that X/C q has genus 0 is called a cyclic q-gonal surface. If a q-gonal surface X is also p-gonal for some prime p≠q, then X is called a multiple prime surface. In this paper, we classify all multiple prime surfaces. A consequence of this classification is a proof of the fact that a cyclic q-gonal surface can be cyclic p-gonal for at most one other prime p.
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.
We construct quasiconformal deformations of convergence type Fuchsian groups such that the resulting limit set is a Jordan curve of Hausdorff dimension 1, but having tangents almost nowhere. It is known that no divergence type group has such a deformation. The main tools in this construction are (1) a characterization of tangent points in terms of Peter Jones' beta's, (2) a result of Stephen Semmes that gives a Carleson type condition on a Beltrami coefficient which implies rectifiability and (3)...
Let be a Riemann surface. Let be the -dimensional hyperbolic space and let be its ideal boundary. In our context, a Plateau problem is a locally holomorphic mapping . If is a convex immersion, and if is its exterior normal vector field, we define the Gauss lifting, , of by . Let be the Gauss-Minkowski mapping. A solution to the Plateau problem is a convex immersion of constant Gaussian curvature equal to such that the Gauss lifting is complete and . In this paper, we show...
Let be the connected sum of three real projective planes. We realize the Thurston compactification of the Teichmüller space as a simplex in .
