On Thurston's Stretch Lines in Teichm\"uller Space

Geometric Topology 2018-05-01 v1

Abstract

The Teichm\"uller space T(Σ)\mathcal{T}(\Sigma) of a surface Σ\Sigma is equipped with Thurston's asymmetric metric. Stretch lines are oriented geodesics for this metric on T(Σ)\mathcal{T}(\Sigma). We give the asymptotic behavior of the lengths of the measured geodesic laminations as one follows a stretch line in the positive direction.
