We prove bounds on approximate incidences between families of circles and families of points in the plane. As a consequence, we prove a lower bound for the dimension of circular $(u,v)$-Furstenberg sets, which is new for large $u$ and $v$.
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 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 obtain bounds on the numbers of intersections between triangulations as the conformal structure of a surface varies along a Teichm{\"u}ller geodesic contained in an $\mathrm{SL}\left(2,\mathbb{R}\right)$-orbit closure of rank 1 in the…
In this paper we develop a systematic deformation theory for conic constant curvature metrics on a closed surface when all cone angles are less than $2\pi$; in particular, we define and study the Teichm\"uller space…
The Gardiner-Masur compactification of Teichm\"uller space is homeomorphic to the horofunction compactification of the Teichm\"uller metric. Let $\xi$ and $\eta$ be a pair of boundary points in the Gardiner-Masur compactification that fill…
We develop the theory of Thurston maps that are defined everywhere on the topological sphere $S^2$ with a possible exception of a single essential singularity. We establish an analog of the celebrated W. Thurston's characterization theorem…
We prove that the pressure metric on the Teichm\"uller space of a bordered surface is incomplete and its partial completion can be given by the moduli space of metric graphs for a fat graph associated to the same bordered surface equipped…
In this paper we prove genus bounds for closed embedded minimal surfaces in a closed 3-dimensional manifold constructed via min-max arguments. A stronger estimate was announced by Pitts and Rubistein but to our knowledge its proof has never…
We prove that the moduli space of compact genus three Riemann surfaces contains only finitely many algebraically primitive Teichmueller curves. For the stratum consisting of holomorphic one-forms in genus three with a single zero, our…
We prove that the minimal Euler characteristic of a closed symplectic four-manifold with given fundamental group is often much larger than the minimal Euler characteristic of almost complex closed four-manifolds with the same fundamental…
The Thurston spine consists of the subset of Teichm\"uller space at which the set of shortest curves, the systoles, cuts the surface into polygons. The systole function is a topological Morse function on Teichm\"uller space. This paper…
Given a compact orientable surface with finitely many punctures $\Sigma$, let $\Cal S(\Sigma)$ be the set of isotopy classes of essential unoriented simple closed curves in $\Sigma$. We determine a complete set of relations for a function…
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…
Let S be an oriented surface of genus g with m punctures. If 3g-3+m is at least 4 then we construct for every compact subset K of moduli space a closed Teichmueller geodesic not intersecting K.
In this paper we produce a sequence of Riemannian manifolds $M_j^m$, $m \ge 2$, which converge in the intrinsic flat sense to the unit $m$-sphere with the restricted Euclidean distance. This limit space has no geodesics achieving the…
A triangulation of a surface is \emph{irreducible} if there is no edge whose contraction produces another triangulation of the surface. We prove that every irreducible triangulation of a surface with Euler genus $g\geq1$ has at most $13g-4$…
We continue the comparison between lines of minima and Teichmueller geodesics begun in [CRS1]. We show that in the Teichmueller space of a surface S, lines of minima are quasi-geodesic with respect to the Teichmueller metric. The…
A basic feature of Teichm\"uller theory of Riemann surfaces is the interplay of two dimensional hyperbolic geometry, the behavior of geodesic-length functions and Weil-Petersson geometry. Let $\mathcal{T}_g$ $(g\geq 2)$ be the Teichm\"uller…
In this paper, we show that the analogue of Thurston's asymmetric metric on the Teichm{\"u}ller space of flat structures on the torus is weak Finsler and we give a geometric description of its unit sphere at each point in the tangent space…
