This paper is the final step in solving the problem of starlikeness of Teichmuller spaces in Bers' embedding. This step concerns the case of finite dimensional Teichmuller spaces ${\mathbf T}(g, n)$ of positive dimension (corresponding to…

We outline old and new results concerning the well-known problems in the Teichm\"uller space theory, i.e., whether these spaces are starlike in the Bers holomorphic embedding and whether any Teichm\"uller space of dimension greater than 1…

We survey some major contributions to Riemann's moduli space and Teichm{\"u}ller space. Our report has a historical character, but the stress is on the chain of mathematical ideas. We start with the introduction of Riemann surfaces, and we…

The Bers-Greenberg theorem tells that the Teichm\"{u}ller space of a Riemann surface with branch points (orbifold) depends only on the genus and the number of special points, but not on the particular ramification values. On the other hand,…

Recently the author presented a new approach to solving the coefficient problems for holomorphic functions based on the deep features of Teichmuller spaces. It involves the Bers isomorphism theorem for Teichmuller spaces of punctured…

The problem of holomorphic contractibilty of the Teichmuller spaces $T(0, n)$ of punctured spheres ($n > 4$) arose in the 1970s in connection with solving algebraic equations in Banach algebras. Recently it was solved by the author in…

We study complex-analytic properties of the augmented Teichmuller spaces ATS introduced by Lipman Bers. These spaces are obtained by adding to the classical Teichmuller space TS the points corresponding to nodal Riemann surfaces. Unlike TS,…

Torelli space (in genus g) is the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces of genus g together with a symplectic basis of their first homology group. It is the quotient of the genus g Teichmuller space by the Torelli group T_g and is a…

We prove that the Teichm\"{u}ller space $\mathscr{T}$ of a closed surface of genus $g \ge 2$ cannot be biholomorphic to any domain which is locally strictly convex at some boundary point.

Pulling back complex structures along a branched covering induces a holomorphic isometric embedding of Teichm\"uller spaces. We show that for dimension at least $2$, all isometric embeddings arise from branched coverings. This generalizes a…

Let $S$ be a closed orientable surface with genus $g\geq 2$. For a sequence $\s_i$ in the Teichm\"uller space of $S$, which converges to a projective measured lamination $[\lam]$ in the Thurston boundary, we obtain a relation between $\lam$…

For g at least 2, the Thurston spine Pg is the subspace of Teichmueller space Tg , consisting of the marked surfaces for which the set of shortest curves, the systoles, cuts the surface into polygons. Our main result is the existence of an…

Using the methods of the previous paper [ABG], we show that the Teichmuller space T of all closed Riemann surfaces is fibred twice over the Teichmuller space H of hyperelliptic ones. Both fibre bundles \pi_1,\pi_2:T->H are real algebraic…

This is a survey of our recent results on the geometry of moduli spaces and Teichmuller spaces of Riemann surfaces appeared in math.DG/0403068 and math.DG/0409220. We introduce new metrics on the moduli and the Teichmuller spaces of Riemann…

Royden proved that any isometry of Teichmuller space in the Teichmuller metric must be an element of the extended mapping class group M(S). He also proved that the Teichmuller metric is not symmetric at any point. In this paper we give…

Triangulated surfaces are compact Riemann surfaces equipped with a conformal triangulation by equilateral triangles. In 2004, Brooks and Makover asked how triangulated surfaces are distributed in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces as the…

In this paper we prove that for all $n=4k-2$, $k\ge2$ there exists closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds $M$ with negative sectional curvature that do not have the homotopy type of a locally symmetric space, such that…

There exists on each Teichm\"uller space $T_g$ (comprising compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g$), a natural sequence of determinant (of cohomology) line bundles, $DET_n$, related to each other via certain ``Mumford isomorphisms''. There is…

In this article we first show that any finite cover of the moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $g\geq 2$ does not admit any Riemannian metric $ds^2$ of nonnegative scalar curvature such that $ds^2 \succ ds_{T}^2$ where…
