In his seminal work on Teichm\"uller spaces (\cite{Th98}), Thurston introduced the maximal stretch for a pair of hyperbolic metrics on a closed surface of genus $\geq 2$ and showed that the logarithm of this quantity induces an asymmetric…
We study the geometry of hyperbolic cone surfaces, possibly with cusps or geodesic boundaries. We prove that any hyperbolic cone structure on a surface of non-exceptional type is determined up to isotopy by the geodesic lengths of a finite…
We continue the study of the analogue of Thurston's metric on the Teichm{\"u}ller space of Euclidean triangle which was started by Saglam and Papadopoulos in [1].By direct calculation, we give explicit expressions of the distance function…
We study the Lipschitz metric on Outer Space and prove that fully irreducible elements of Out(F_n) act by hyperbolic isometries with axes which are strongly contracting. As a corollary, we prove that the axes of fully irreducible…
We consider some metrics and weak metrics defined on the Teichmueller space of a surface of finite type with nonempty boundary, that are defined using the hyperbolic length spectrum of simple closed curves and of properly embedded arcs, and…
We show that the horofunction boundary of Teichm\"uller space with Thurston's Lipschitz metric is the same as the Thurston boundary. We use this to determine the isometry group of the Lipschitz metric, apart from in some exceptional cases.…
In the moduli space of quadratic differentials over complex structures on a surface, we construct a set of full Hausdorff dimension of points with bounded Teichm\"uller geodesic trajectories.The main tool is quantitative nondivergence of…
Given a compact orientable surface with finitely many punctures $\Sigma$, let $\Cal S(\Sigma)$ be the set of isotopy classes of essential unoriented simple closed curves in $\Sigma$. We determine a complete set of relations for a function…
The Teichm\"{u}ller curve is the fiber space over Teichm\"{u}ller space of closed Riemann surfaces, where the fiber over a point in Teichm\"{u}ller space is the underlying surface. We derive formulas for sectional curvatures on the…
We show that a Kleinian surface group, or hyperbolic 3-manifold with a cusp-preserving homotopy-equivalence to a surface, has bounded geometry if and only if there is an upper bound on an associated collection of coefficients that depend…
We prove that the every quasi-isometry of Teichm\"uller space equipped with the Teichm\"uller metric is a bounded distance from an isometry of Teichm\"uller space. That is, Teichm\"uller space is quasi-isometrically rigid.
This paper extends the decorated Teichm\"uller theory developed before for punctured surfaces to the setting of ``bordered'' surfaces, i.e., surfaces with boundary, and there is non-trivial new structure discovered. The main new result…
We propose the graph description of Teichm\"uller theory of surfaces with marked points on boundary components (bordered surfaces). Introducing new parameters, we formulate this theory in terms of hyperbolic geometry. We can then describe…
The Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$ of a surface $\Sigma$ is equipped with Thurston's asymmetric metric. Stretch lines are oriented geodesics for this metric on $\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$. We give the asymptotic behavior of the lengths…
We introduce a new type of boundary for proper geodesic spaces, called the Morse boundary, that is constructed with rays that identify the "hyperbolic directions" in that space. This boundary is a quasi-isometry invariant and thus produces…
The Gardiner-Masur compactification of Teichm\"uller space is homeomorphic to the horofunction compactification of the Teichm\"uller metric. Let $\xi$ and $\eta$ be a pair of boundary points in the Gardiner-Masur compactification that fill…
While there may be many Thurston metric geodesics between a pair of points in Teichm\"uller space, we find that by imposing an additional energy minimization constraint on the geodesics, thought of as limits of harmonic map rays, we select…
We prove that the Teichm\"uller space of surfaces with given boundary lengths equipped with the arc metric (resp. the Teichm\"uller metric) is almost isometric to the Teichm\"uller space of punctured surfaces equipped with the Thurston…
We consider a large class of geodesic metric spaces, including Banach spaces, hyperbolic spaces and geodesic $\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa)$-spaces, and investigate the space of nonexpansive mappings on either a convex or a star-shaped subset in…
In this paper, the Lipschitz clustering property of a metric space refers to the existence of Lipschitz retractions between its finite subset spaces. Obstructions to this property can be either topological or geometric features of the…
