Abstract

Let SS be a closed and oriented surface of genus gg at least 22. In this (mostly expository) article, the object of study is the space P(S)\mathcal{P}(S) of marked isomorphism classes of projective structures on SS. We show that P(S)\mathcal{P}(S), endowed with the canonical complex structure, carries exotic hermitian structures that extend the classical ones on the Teichm\"uller space T(S)\mathcal{T}(S) of SS. We shall notice also that the Kobayashi and Carath\'eodory pseudodistances, which can be defined for any complex manifold, can not be upgraded to a distance. We finally show that P(S)\mathcal{P}(S) does not carry any Bergman pseudometric.
