Let $S$ be an orientable surface with negative Euler characteristic. For $k \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathcal{C}_{k}(S)$ denote the $\textit{k-curve graph}$, whose vertices are isotopy classes of essential simple closed curves on $S$, and…

We study the geometry of the Thurston metric on Teichmuller space by examining its geodesics and comparing them to Teichmuller geodesics. We show that, similar to a Teichmuller geodesic, the shadow of a Thurston geodesic to the curve graph…

Given a surface of infinite topological type, there are several Teichm\"uller spaces associated with it, depending on the basepoint and on the point of view that one uses to compare different complex structures. This paper is about the…

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 apply the methods of simultaneous uniformization and composition operators on Besov spaces to the Teichm\"uller space $T^Z$ of circle diffeomorphisms with Zygmund continuous derivatives. As consequences, we obtain the following: (1) a…

We show the map $\sigma : T_g \to C_g$ sending a compact hyperbolic surface $X$ to a random simple closed geodesic on $X$ determines a proper embedding of Teichm\"uller space into the space of geodesic currents. The proof depends on a…

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 study limit sets of Teichm\"uller disks in the Thurston boundary of Teichm\"uller space of a closed surface S of genus at least 2. It is well known that almost every Teichm\"uller geodesic ray converges to a point on the boundary. We…

We show that the action of the mapping class group on the space of closed curves of a closed surface effectively tracks the corresponding action on Teichm\"uller space in the following sense: for all but quantitatively few mapping classes,…

Considering the Teichm\"uller space of a surface equipped with Thurston's Lipschitz metric, we study geodesic segments whose endpoints have bounded combinatorics. We show that these geodesics are cobounded, and that the closest-point…

Rafi and Schleimer recently proved that the natural relation between curve complexes induced by a covering map between two surfaces is a quasi-isometric embedding. We offer another proof of this result using a distance estimate via…

We demonstrate that any self-adjoint coupling in a quantum graph vertex can be approximated by a family of magnetic Schroedinger operators on a tubular network built over the graph. If such a manifold has a boundary, Neumann conditions are…

In the first part of the paper we describe the complex geometry of the universal Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal T$, which may be realized as an open subset in the complex Banach space of holomorphic quadratic differentials in the unit disc.…

We interpolate a new family of Teichm\"uller spaces $T_{\sharp}^X$ between the universal Teichm\"uller space $T$ and its little subspace $T_0$, which we call the Teichm\"uller space of piecewise symmetric homeomorphisms. This is defined by…

We consider a geometric property of the closest-points projection to a geodesic in Teichm\"uller space: the projection is called contracting if arbitrarily large balls away from the geodesic project to sets of bounded diameter. (This…

We estimate the distance in the curve graph of a surface S of finite type using Teichmueller geodesics and assuming to be able to detect curves of distance at least three.

We investigate shrinking maps from a cusped hyperbolic surface into the moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. For such a map and its lift to the Teichm\"uller space, we consider whether they are quasi-isometric embeddings with respect to…

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 prove that the supremum of principal curvatures of a minimal embedded disc in hyperbolic three-space spanning a quasicircle in the boundary at infinity is estimated in a sublinear way by the norm of the quasicircle in the sense of…
