Holomorphic quadratic differentials in Teichm\"uller theory

Geometric Topology 2019-02-19 v1 Complex Variables

Abstract

This expository survey describes how holomorphic quadratic differentials arise in several aspects of Teichm\"uller theory, highlighting their relation with various geometric structures on surfaces. The final section summarizes results for non-compact surfaces of finite type, when the quadratic differential has poles of finite order at the punctures.
