Abstract
Let be a closed, orientable surface of genus at least 2. The cotangent bundle of the "hyperbolic'' Teichm\"uller space of can be identified with the space of complex projective structures on through measured laminations, while the cotangent bundle of the "complex'' Teichm\"uller space can be identified with through the Schwarzian derivative. We prove that the resulting map between the two cotangent spaces, although not smooth, is symplectic. The proof uses a variant of the renormalized volume defined for hyperbolic ends.
