The problem of starlikeness of Teichmuller spaces in Bers' embedding was raised in 1974 and is solved (negatively) for Teichmuller spaces of sufficiently large dimensions. The original proof given by the author relies on the existence of…

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…

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…

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…

In this paper, the Teichm{\"u}ller spaces of surfaces appear from two points of views: the conformal category and the hyperbolic category. In contrast to the case of surfaces of topologically finite type, the Teichm{\"u}ller spaces…

We prove that the Teichmuller Space of Riemann Surfaces of genus g>1, equipped with the Teichmuller metric, is not a Gromov Hyperbolic space.

Let $\Tei_{g,n}$ be the Teichm\"uller space of Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. It is conjectured that the Teichm\"uller and Carath\'{e}odory metrics agree on a Teichm\"{u}ller disk if and only if all the zeros of 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…

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…

In this article we show that any finite cover of the moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces of $g$ genus with $g\geq 2$ does not admit any complete finite-volume Hermitian metric of non-negative scalar curvature. Moreover, we also show…

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 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,…

We show that the length spectrum metric on Teichm\"uller spaces of surfaces of infinite topological type is complete. We also give related results and examples that compare the length spectrum Teichm\"uller space with quasiconformal and the…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated Kleinian group and let $\Delta$ be an invariant collection of components in its region of discontinuity. The Teichm\"uller space $T(\Delta,G)$ supported in $\Delta$, is the space of equivalence classes of…

We investigate a metric structure on the Thurston boundary of Teichm\"uller space. To do this, we develop tools in sup metrics and apply Minsky's theorem.

Unlike the case of surfaces of topologically finite type, there are several different Teichm\"uller spaces that are associated to a surface of topological infinite type. These Teichm\"uller spaces first depend (set-theoretically) on whether…

This is a mathematical commentary on Teichm{\"u}ller's paper ``Bestimmung der extremalen quasikonformen Abbildungen bei geschlossenen orientierten Riemannschen Fl{\"a}chen'' (Determination of extremal quasiconformal maps of closed oriented…

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.…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic geometry of Teichmuller space of Riemann surfaces and give bounds on the Weil-Petersson sectional curvature of Teichmuller space, in terms of the length of the shortest geodesic on the surface. This…

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.
