We show that any grafting ray in Teichm\"{u}ller space determined by an arational lamination or a multi-curve is (strongly) asymptotic to a Teichm\"{u}ller geodesic ray. As a consequence the projection of a generic grafting ray to moduli…
In this paper we study the convergence behavior of grafting rays to the Thurston boundary of Teichmuller space. When the grafting is done along a weighted system of simple closed curves or along a maximal uniquely ergodic lamination this…
In this paper, we study the limit of Teichm\"uller distance between two points along a pair of Teichm\"uller rays. We obtain an explicit formula for the limiting Teichm\"uller distance when the vertical measured foliations of the quadratic…
We study the asymptotic geometry of Teichmueller geodesic rays. We show that when the transverse measures to the vertical foliations of the quadratic differentials determining two different rays are topologically equivalent, but are not…
Given a measured geodesic lamination on a hyperbolic surface, grafting the surface along multiples of the lamination defines a path in Teichmuller space, called the grafting ray. We show that every grafting ray, after reparametrization, is…
In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of two Teichm\"uller geodesic rays determined by Jenkins-Strebel differentials, and we obtain a generalization of a theorem in \cite{Amano14}. We also consider the infimum of the asymptotic…
We consider harmonic diffeomorphisms to a fixed hyperbolic target $Y$, from a family of domain Riemann surfaces degenerating along a Teichm\"{u}ller ray. We use the work of Minsky to show that there is a limiting harmonic map from the…
We study the asymptotic behavior of extremal length along Teichm\"uller rays. Specifically, we determine the limit of extremal length along a Teichm\"uller ray and obtain an explicit expression for this limit, which complements a related…
We determine the asymptotic behaviour of extremal length along arbitrary Teichm\"uller rays. This allows us to calculate the endpoint in the Gardiner-Masur boundary of any Teichm\"uller ray. We give a proof that this compactification is the…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic geometry of Teichmuller space of Riemann surfaces and give bounds on the Weil-Petersson sectional curvature of Teichmuller space, in terms of the length of the shortest geodesic on the surface. This…
In this paper, we obtain the explicit limit value of the Teichm\"{u}ller distance between two Teichm\"{u}ller geodesic rays which are determined by Jenkins-Strebel differentials having a common end point on the augmented Teichm\"{u}ller…
We prove that a graph G is asymptotically isomorphic to the ray if and only if G is uniformly spherically bounded and is of bounded local degrees. This problem arouse in combinatorics and was posed in [3] (Problem 10.1).
Given a hyperbolic surface and a simple closed geodesic on it, complex-twists along the curve produce a holomorphic family of deformations in Teichm\"{u}ller space, degenerating to the Riemann surface where it is pinched. We show there is a…
Let $X=\mathbb{D}/\Gamma$ be an arbitrary Riemann surface. We establish a necessary and sufficient criterion for $[f]\in T(X)$ to have a Teichm\"uller-type extremal map.
Finding surface mappings with least distortion arises from many applications in various fields. Extremal Teichm\"uller maps are surface mappings with least conformality distortion. The existence and uniqueness of the extremal…
In the theory of Teichm\"uller space of Riemann surfaces, we consider the set of Riemann surfaces which are quasiconformally equivalent. For topologically finite Riemann surfaces, it is quite easy to examine if they are quasiconformally…
We study compact hyperbolic surface laminations. These are a generalization of closed hyperbolic surfaces which appear to be more suited to the study of Teichm\"uller theory than arbitrary non-compact surfaces. We show that the…
We show that grafting any fixed hyperbolic surface defines a homeomorphism from the space of measured laminations to Teichmuller space, complementing a result of Scannell-Wolf on grafting by a fixed lamination. This result is used to study…
Thurston's boundary to the universal Teichm\"uller space $T(\mathbb{H})$ is the set of asymptotic rays to the embedding of $T(\mathbb{H})$ in the space of geodesic currents; the boundary is identified with the projective bounded measured…
We compare some natural triangulations of the Teichm\"uller space of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary and of some bordifications. We adapt Scannell-Wolf's proof to show that grafting semi-infinite cylinders at the ends of…
