In this paper, we revisit the notion of length measures associated to planar closed curves. These are a special case of area measures of hypersurfaces which were introduced early on in the field of convex geometry. The length measure of a…

In this work, we study the asymptotic geometry of the mapping class group and Teichmueller space. We introduce tools for analyzing the geometry of `projection' maps from these spaces to curve complexes of subsurfaces; from this we obtain…

In this paper two Poisson structures on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces with conical points are compared: the Weil-Petersson one and the \eta coming from the representation variety. We show that they are multiple of each other, if…

This paper explores the Riemannian geometry of the Wasserstein space of the circle, namely $P(S^{1})$, the set of probability measures on the unit circle endowed with the 2-Wasserstein metric. Building on the foundational work of Otto,…

In general, it is difficult to measure distances in the Weil-Petersson metric on Teichm\"uller space. Here we consider the distance between strata in the Weil-Petersson completion of Teichm\"uller space of a surface of finite type. Wolpert…

Finslerian extensions of Special and General Relativity -- commonly referred to as Very Special and Very General Relativity -- necessitate the development of a unified Lorentz-Finsler geometry. However, the scope of this geometric framework…

We study Weil-Petersson (WP) geodesics with narrow end invariant and develop techniques to control length-functions and twist parameters along them and prescribe their itinerary in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. This class of…

Weil-Petersson volumes are the volumes of the moduli spaces of bordered Riemann surfaces and have played an important role in the relationship between two-dimensional quantum gravity and algebraic geometry. In the last couple years progress…

We study the Lipschitz metric on Teichmuller space (defined by Thurston) and compare it with the Teichmuller metric. We show that in the thin part of Teichmuller space the Lipschitz metric is approximated up to bounded additive distortion…
