Abstract

We introduce maximal discs of Weil-Petersson class in the 3-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space AdS2,1\mathbb{A}\mathrm{d}\mathbb{S}^{2,1}, whose parametrization space can be identified with the cotangent bundle TT0(1)T^*T_0(1) of Weil-Petersson universal Teichm\"uller space T0(1)T_0(1). We prove that the Mess map defines a symplectic diffeomorphism from TT0(1)T^*T_0(1) to T0(1)×T0(1)T_0(1)\times T_0(1), with respect to the canonical symplectic form on TT0(1)T^*T_0(1) and the difference of pullbacks of the Weil-Petersson symplectic forms from each factor of T0(1)×T0(1)T_0(1)\times T_0(1). Furthermore, we show that the functional given by the anti-holomorphic energies of the induced Gauss maps associated with maximal discs of Weil-Petersson class serves as a K\"ahler potential for the restriction of the canonical symplectic form to certain submanifolds T0(1)±TT0(1)T_0(1)^\pm \subset T^*T_0(1), which bijectively parametrize the space of maximal discs of Weil-Petersson class in AdS2,1\mathbb{A}\mathrm{d}\mathbb{S}^{2,1}.
