We define an ending lamination for a Weil-Petersson geodesic ray. Despite the lack of a natural visual boundary for the Weil-Petersson metric, these ending laminations provide an effective boundary theory that encodes much of its asymptotic…

We analyse the convex structure of the Finsler infinitesimal balls of the Thurston metric on Teichm{\"u}ller space. We obtain a characterisation of faces, exposed faces and extreme points of the unit spheres. In particular, we prove that…

We obtain sharp inequalities between the large scale asymptotic of the $J$ functional with respect to the $d_1$ metric on the space of Kahler metrics. Applications regarding the initial value problem for geodesic rays are presented.

Unlike the case of surfaces of topologically finite type, there are several different Teichm\"uller spaces that are associated to a surface of topological infinite type. These Teichm\"uller spaces first depend (set-theoretically) on whether…

Let $S$ be a closed, oriented surface with a finite (possibly empty) set of points removed. In this paper we relate two important but disparate topics in the study of the moduli space $\M(S)$ of Riemann surfaces: Teichm\"{u}ller geometry…

We study the asymptotic behavior of Moncrief lines on $2+1$ maximal globally hyperbolic spatially compact space-time $M$ of non-negative constant curvature. We show that when the unique geodesic lamination associated with $M$ is either…

We study the local geometry of the space of horizontal curves with endpoints freely varying in two given submanifolds $\mathcal P$ and $\mathcal Q$ of a manifold $\mathcal M$ endowed with a distribution $\mathcal D\subset T\M$. We give a…

We answer a question of Durham, Hagen, and Sisto, proving that a Teichm\"uller geodesic ray does not necessarily converge to a unique point in the hierarchically hyperbolic space boundary of Teichm\"uller space. In fact, we prove that the…

A basic feature of Teichm\"uller theory of Riemann surfaces is the interplay of two dimensional hyperbolic geometry, the behavior of geodesic-length functions and Weil-Petersson geometry. Let $\mathcal{T}_g$ $(g\geq 2)$ be the Teichm\"uller…

We establish a link between the behavior of length functions on Teichm\"uller space and the geometry of certain anti de Sitter 3-manifolds. As an application, we give new purely anti de Sitter proofs of results of Teichm\"uller theory such…

We prove a quantitative version of the non-uniform hyperbolicity of the Teichm\"uller geodesic flow. Namely, at each point of any Teichm\"uller flow line, we bound the infinitesimal spectral gap for variations of the Hodge norm along the…

This article examines the asymptotic behavior of the Widom factors, denoted $\mathcal{W}_n$, for Chebyshev polynomials of finite unions of Jordan arcs. We prove that, in contrast to Widom's proposal, when dealing with a single smooth Jordan…

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…

It was recently shown that the Carath\'eodory and Teichm\"uller metrics on the Teichm\"uller space of a closed surface do not coincide. On the other hand, Kra earlier showed that the metrics coincide when restricted to a Teichm\"uller disk…
