Abstract

In \cite{rigidity}, Luo introduced a ψλ\psi_{\lambda} edge invariant which turns out to be a coordinate of the Teichm\"uller space of a surface with boundary. And he proved that for λ0\lambda \geq 0, the image of the Teichm\"uller space under ψλ\psi_{\lambda} edge invariant coordinate is an open cell. In this paper we verify his conjecture that for λ<0\lambda<0, the image of the Teichm\"uller space is a bounded convex polytope.
