We study the Teichm\"uller metric on the Teichm\"uller space of a surface of finite type, in regions where the injectivity radius of the surface is small. The main result is that in such regions the Teichm\"uller metric is approximated up…

We give an example of a horocycle in the Teichm\"uller space of the five-times-punctured sphere that does not converge in the Gardiner--Masur compactification, or equivalently in the horofunction compactification of the Teichm\"uller…

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…

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 calculate the Euler characteristics of all of the Teichmuller curves in the moduli space of genus two Riemann surfaces which are generated by holomorphic one-forms with a single double zero. These curves can all be embedded in Hilbert…

We study two $2$-dimensional Teichm\"uller spaces of surfaces with boundary and marked points, namely, the pentagon and the punctured triangle. We show that their geometry is quite different from Teichm\"uller spaces of closed surfaces.…

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…

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…

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…

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 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…
