Using global considerations, Mess proved that the moduli space of globally hyperbolic flat Lorentzian structures on $S\times\mathbb{R}$ is the tangent bundle of the Teichm\"uller space of $S$, if $S$ is a closed surface. One of the goals of…
For any analytically finite Riemann surface, the Teichm\"uller modular group is countable, but it is not easy to find an analytically infinite Riemann surface for which the Teichm\"uller modular group is countable. In this paper, we show…
We prove a semisimplicity result for the boundary, in the corresponding Deligne-Mumford compactification, of a totally geodesic subvariety of a moduli space of Riemann surfaces. At the level of Teichm\"uller space, this semisimplicity…
Let $\rm{Mod(S)}$ be the mapping class group of a closed orientable surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$. Let $G$ be a non-elementary subgroup of $\rm{Mod(S)}$ so that the associated Bowen-Margulis measure is finite. In this paper, we give an…
We prove the holomorphic rigidity conjecture of Teichm\"{u}ller space which loosely speaking states that the action of the mapping class group uniquely determines the Teichm\"{u}ller space as a complex manifold. The method of proof is…
Let $U$ be a unipotent group which is graded in the sense that it has an extension $H$ by the multiplicative group of the complex numbers such that all the weights of the adjoint action on the Lie algebra of $U$ are strictly positive. We…
Let $\Sigma$ be a hypersurface in an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, $n\geqslant 2$. We study the isometric extension problem for isometric immersions $f:\Sigma\to\mathbb R^n$, where $\mathbb R^n$ is equipped with the Euclidean…
We introduce a function model for the Teichm\"uller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann surface. Then we introduce a new metric by using the maximum norm on the function space on the Teichm\"uller space. We prove that the identity map from…
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 the compactification M(atrix) theory on a Riemann surface Sigma of genus g>1. A natural generalization of the case of the torus leads to construct a projective unitary representation of pi_1(\Sigma), realized on the Hilbert…
A Teichm\"uller space $Teich$ is a quotient of the space of all complex structures on a given manifold $M$ by the connected components of the group of diffeomorphisms. The mapping class group $\Gamma$ of $M$ is the group of connected…
We are concerned about improvements of the modulus of convexity by renormings of a super-reflexive Banach space. Typically optimal results are beyond Pisier's power functions bounds $t^p$, with $p \geq 2$, and they are related to the notion…
We show that every group $H$ of at most exponential growth with respect to some left invariant metric admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into a finitely generated group $G$ such that $G$ is amenable (respectively, solvable, satisfies a…
We prove a regularity theorem for harmonic maps into Teichm\"uller space. More specifically, if $u$ is a harmonic map from a Riemannian domain to the metric completion of Teichm\"uller space with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric, and…
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…
For a given $\epsilon >0$, we show that there exist two finite index subgroups of $PSL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ which are $(1+\epsilon)$-quasisymmetrically conjugated and the conjugation homeomorphism is not conformal. This implies that for any…
Let $\Sigma$ be a Riemann surface of genus $g$ bordered by $n$ curves homeomorphic to the circle $\mathbb{S}^1$, and assume that $2g+2-n>0$. For such bordered Riemann surfaces, the authors have previously defined a Teichm\"uller space which…

The Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$ of a surface $\Sigma$ is equipped with Thurston's asymmetric metric. Stretch lines are oriented geodesics for this metric on $\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$. We give the asymptotic behavior of the lengths…
The Bers embedding of theTeichm\"uller space is a homeomorphism into the Banach space of certain holomorphic automorphic forms. For a subspace of the universal Teichm\"uller space and its corresponding Banach subspace, we consider whether…
