Abstract

By conformal welding, there is a pair of univalent functions (f,g)(f,g) associated to every point of the complex K\"ahler manifold \Mob(S1)\bk\Diff+(S1)\Mob(S^1)\bk\Diff_+(S^1). For every integer n1n\geq 1, we generalize the definition of Faber polynomials to define some canonical bases of holomorphic 1n1-n and nn differentials associated to the pair (f,g)(f,g). Using these bases, we generalize the definition of Grunsky matrices to define matrices whose columns are the coefficients of the differentials with respect to standard bases of differentials on the unit disc and the exterior unit disc. We derive some identities among these matrices which are reminiscent of the Grunsky equality. By using these identities, we showed that we can define the Fredholm determinants of the period matrices of holomorphic nn differentials NnN_n, which are the Gram matrices of the canonical bases of holomorphic nn-differentials with respect to the inner product given by the hyperbolic metric. Finally we proved that detNn=(detN1)6n26n+1\det N_n =(\det N_1)^{6n^2-6n+1} and \pa\paˉlogdetNn\pa\bar{\pa}\log\det N_n is (6n26n+1)/(6πi)-(6n^2-6n+1)/(6\pi i) of the Weil-Petersson symplectic form.
