We introduce the concept of a new kind of symmetric homeomorphisms on the unit circle, which is derived from the generalization of symmetric homeomorphisms on the real line. By the investigation of the barycentric extension for this class…
For a smooth manifold $M$ we define the Teichm\"uller space $\cT(M)$ of all Riemannian metrics on $M$ and the Teichm\"uller space $\cT^\epsilon(M)$ of $\epsilon$-pinched negatively curved metrics on $M$, where $0\leq\epsilon\leq\infty$. We…
The aim of these notes is to provide an introduction to Anti-de Sitter geometry, with special emphasis on dimension three and on the relations with Teichm\"uller theory, whose study has been initiated by the seminal paper of Geoffrey Mess…
Based on the quasiconformal theory of the universal Teichm\"uller space, we introduce the Teichm\"uller space of diffeomorphisms of the unit circle with $\alpha$-H\"older continuous derivatives as a subspace of the universal Teichm\"uller…
We study extensions of Wermer's maximality theorem to several complex variables. We exhibit various smoothly embedded manifolds in complex Euclidean space whose hulls are non-trivial but contain no analytic disks. We answer a question posed…
This text is an introduction to dilation surfaces. We attempt to expose some geometric and dynamical aspects of the subject: moduli spaces, directional foliations and the Teichm\"uller flow.
We consider a closed odd-dimensional oriented manifold $M$ together with an acyclic flat hermitean vector bundle $\cF$. We form the trivial fibre bundle with fibre $M$ over the manifold of all Riemannian metrics on $M$. It has a natural…
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…
The first part of this paper surveys several characterizations of Teichm\"uller space as a subset of the space of representation of the fundamental group of a surface into PSL(2,R). Special emphasis is put on (bounded) cohomological…
We prove that the image of the lifted period map on the universal cover lies in a complex Euclidean space. We also prove that the Teichm\"uller spaces of a class of polarized manifolds have complex affine structures.
We classify the Teichm\"uller curves in the moduli space of genus three Riemann surfaces $\mathcal M_3$ that are obtained by a covering construction from a primitive Teichm\"uller curve in $\mathcal M_2$. We describe the action on homology…
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…
This is an introduction to the algebraic aspect of Teichm\"uller dynamics, with a focus on its interplay with the geometry of moduli spaces of curves as well as recent advances in the field.
The theory of twistors on foliated manifolds is developed and the twistor space of the normal bundle is constructed. It is demonstrated that the classical constructions of the twistor theory lead to foliated objects and permit to formulate…
We give a summary of joint work with Michael Thaddeus that realizes toroidal compactifcations of split reductive groups as moduli spaces of framed bundles on chains of rational curves. We include an extension of this work that covers Artin…
The article consists of a survey on analytic and topological torsion. Analytic torsion is defined in terms of the spectrum of the analytic Laplace operator on a Riemannian manifold, whereas topological torsion is defined in terms of a…
Grothendieck's Esquisse d'un programme is often referred to for the ideas it contains on dessins d'enfants, the Teichm{\"u}ller tower, and the actions of the absolute Galois group on these objects or their etale fundamental groups. But this…
Let S be a compact connected oriented orbifold surface We show that using Bers simultaneous uniformization, the moduli space of projective structure on S can be mapped biholomorphically onto the total space of the holomorphic cotangent…
This paper is a survey on the role of Higgs bundle theory in the study of higher Teichm\"uller spaces. Recall that the Teichm\"uller space of a compact surface can be identified with a certain connected component of the moduli space of…
This paper concerns the lattice counting problem for the mapping class group of a surface $S$ acting on Teichm\"uller space with the Teichm\"uller metric. In that problem the goal is to count the number of mapping classes that send a given…
