Lengthening deformations of singular hyperbolic tori

Geometric Topology 2015-06-19 v1

Abstract

Let SS be a torus with a hyperbolic metric admitting one puncture or cone singularity. We describe which infinitesimal deformations of SS lengthen (or shrink) all closed geodesics. We also study how the answer degenerates when SS becomes Euclidean, i.e. very small.
