Abstract

Let MM be a compact complex manifold. The corresponding Teichmuller space \Teich\Teich is a space of all complex structures on MM up to the action of the group of isotopies. The group Γ\Gamma of connected components of the diffeomorphism group (known as the mapping class group) acts on \Teich\Teich in a natural way. An ergodic complex structure is the one with a Γ\Gamma-orbit dense in \Teich\Teich. Let MM be a complex torus of complex dimension 2\geq 2 or a hyperkahler manifold with b2>3b_2>3. We prove that MM is ergodic, unless MM has maximal Picard rank (there is a countable number of such MM). This is used to show that all hyperkahler manifolds are Kobayashi non-hyperbolic.
