Rectifiability in Teichmüller theory
Reduced Bers boundaries of Teichmüller spaces
We consider a quotient space of the Bers boundary of Teichmüller space, which we call the reduced Bers boundary, by collapsing each quasi-conformal deformation space lying there into a point.This boundary turns out to be independent of the basepoint, and the action of the mapping class group extends continuously to this boundary.This is an affirmative answer to Thurston’s conjecture.He also conjectured that this boundary is homeomorphic to the unmeasured lamination space by the correspondence coming...
Riemann surfaces with boundary and natural triangulations of the Teichmüller space
We compare some natural triangulations of the Teichmüller space of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary and of some bordifications. We adapt Scannell–Wolf’s proof to show that grafting semi-infinite cylinders at the ends of hyperbolic surfaces with fixed boundary lengths is a homeomorphism. This way, we construct a family of equivariant triangulations of the Teichmüller space of punctured surfaces that interpolates between Bowditch–Epstein–Penner’s (using the spine construction) and Harer–Mumford–Thurston’s...
