Graphs of Quasicircles and Quasiconformal Homeomorphisms

Geometric Topology 2026-01-16 v1

Abstract

We give a combinatorial characterization of the group of quasiconformal homeomorphisms of a closed, oriented surface SS of genus at least 22. In particular, we prove they are exactly the automorphisms of a graph of essential quasicircles on SS that respect a canonical coarse ordering induced by quality constants. We also discuss the coarse geometry of this graph.
