In the Teichm\"uller space of a hyperbolic surface of finite type, we construct geodesic lines for Thurston's asymmetric metric having the property that when they are traversed in the reverse direction, they are also geodesic lines (up to…

We prove that for every surface $\Sigma$ of Euler genus $g$, every edge-maximal embedding of a graph in $\Sigma$ is at most $O(g)$ edges short of a triangulation of $\Sigma$. This provides the first answer to an open problem of Kainen…

The type problem is the problem of deciding, for a simply connected Riemann surface, whether it is conformally equivalent to the complex plane or to the unit dic in the complex plane. We report on Teichm{\"u}ller's results on the type…

We study the class of holomorphic and isometric submersions between finite-type Teichm\"uller spaces. We prove that, with potential exceptions coming from low-genus phenomena, any such map is a forgetful map $\mathcal{T}_{g,n} \rightarrow…

We study geodesics on a planar Riemann surface of infinite type having a single infinite end. Of particular interest is the class of geodesics that go out the infinite end in a most efficient manner. We investigate properties of these…

We give an overview of some properties of Lie algebras generated by at most 5 extremal elements. In particular, for any finite graph {\Gamma} and any field K of characteristic not 2, we consider an algebraic variety X over K whose K-points…

We prove that an infinite Riemann surface $X$ is parabolic ($X\in O_G$) if and only if the union of the horizontal trajectories of any integrable holomorphic quadratic differential that are cross-cuts is of zero measure. Then we establish…

Motivated by the recent work of Algom-Kfir and Bestinva introducing the mapping class group of an infinite graph via proper homotopy equivalences, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a surface to be properly homotopy equivalent…

We consider the mapping $b_L\colon\mathcal{T} \to \chi$ from the Fricke-Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}$ into the $\mathrm{PSL}_2\mathbb{C}$-character variety $\chi$ of the surface, obtained by bending Fuchsian representations along a…

Thurston boundary of the universal Teichm\"uller space $T(\mathbb{D})$ is the space $PML_{bdd}(\mathbb{D})$ of projective bounded measured laminations of $\mathbb{D}$. A geodesic ray in $T(\mathbb{D})$ is of generalized Teichm\"uller type…

We construct a $C^1$ symplectic twist map $g$ of the annulus that has an essential invariant curve $\Gamma$ such that $\Gamma$ is not differentiable and $g$ restricted to $\Gamma$ is minimal.

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…

Given a measured geodesic lamination on a hyperbolic surface, grafting the surface along multiples of the lamination defines a path in Teichmuller space, called the grafting ray. We show that every grafting ray, after reparametrization, is…

In this paper, by using the Kuranishi coordinates on the Teichm\"uller space and the explicit deformation formula of holomorphic one-forms on Riemann surface, we give an explicit expression of the period map and derive new differential…

There are several Teichm\"uller spaces associated to a surface of infinite topological type, after the choice of a particular basepoint (a complex or a hyperbolic structure on the surface). These spaces include the quasiconformal…

We answer a question of Durham, Hagen, and Sisto, proving that a Teichm\"uller geodesic ray does not necessarily converge to a unique point in the hierarchically hyperbolic space boundary of Teichm\"uller space. In fact, we prove that the…

Veech groups uniformize Teichm\"uller geodesic curves in Riemann moduli space. Recently, examples of infinitely generated Veech groups have been given. We show that these can even have infinitely many cusps and infinitely many infinite…

Thurston's boundary to the universal Teichm\"uller space $T(\mathbb{D})$ is the space $PML_{bdd}(\mathbb{D})$ of projective bounded measured laminations of $\mathbb{D}$. A geodesic ray in $T(\mathbb{D})$ is of Teichm\"uller type if it…

We start by describing how ideal triangulations on a surface degenerate under pinching of a multicurve. We use this process to construct a homomorphism from the Ptolemy groupoid of a surface to that of a pinched surface which is natural…

We show that the Teichm\"uller space of a surface without boundary and with punctures, equipped with Thurston's metric is the limit (in an appropriate sense) of Teichm\"uller spaces of surfaces with boundary, equipped with their arc…
