Abstract

It is known that every finitely unbranched covering α:S~g(α)S\alpha:\widetilde{S}_{g(\alpha)}\rightarrow S of a compact Riemann surface SS with genus g2g\geq2 induces an isometric embedding Γα\Gamma_{\alpha} from the Teichm\"uller space T(S)T(S) to the Teich\"uller space T(S~g(α))T(\widetilde{S}_{g(\alpha)}). Actually, it has been showed that the isometric embedding Γα\Gamma_{\alpha} can be extended isometrically to the augmented Teichm\"{u}ller space T^(S)\widehat{T}(S) of T(S)T(S). Using this result, we construct a directed limit T^(S)\widehat{T}_{\infty}(S) of augmented Teichm\"uller spaces, where the index runs over all finitely unbranched coverings of SS. Then, we show that the action of the universal commensurability modular group Mod(S)Mod_{\infty}(S) can extend isometrically on T^(S)\widehat{T}_{\infty}(S). Furthermore, for any XT(S)X_{\infty}\in T_{\infty}(S), its orbit of the action of the universal commensurability modular group Mod(S)Mod_{\infty}(S) on the universal commensurability augmented Teichm\"uller space T^(S)\widehat{T}_{\infty}(S) is dense. Finally, we also construct a directed limit M^(S)\widehat{M}_{\infty}(S) of augmented moduli spaces by characteristic towers and show that the subgroup Caut(π1(S))Caut(\pi_{1}(S)) of Mod(S)Mod_{\infty}(S) acts on T^(S)\widehat{T}_{\infty}(S) to produce M^(S)\widehat{M}_{\infty}(S) as the quotient.
