It turns out that complex geodesics in Teichm\"uller spaces with respect to their invariant metrics are intrinsically connected with variational calculus for univalent functions. We describe this connection and show how geometric features…

Let $S_{g,n}$ be a surface of genus $g $ with $n$ marked points. Let $X$ be a complete hyperbolic metric on $S_{g,n}$ with $n$ cusps. Every isotopy class $[\gamma]$ of a closed curve $\gamma \in \pi_{1}(S_{g,n})$ contains a unique closed…

The space $\mathrm{GC} (\Sigma)$ of geodesic currents on a hyperbolic surface $\Sigma$ can be considered as a completion of the set of weighted closed geodesics on $\Sigma$ when $\Sigma$ is compact, since the set of rational geodesic…

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…

We characterization hyperbolic metrics on compact surfaces with boundary using a variational principle. As a consequence, a new parametrization of the Teichmuller space of compact surface with boundary is produced. In the new…

The Teichm\"{u}ller curve is the fiber space over Teichm\"{u}ller space of closed Riemann surfaces, where the fiber over a point in Teichm\"{u}ller space is the underlying surface. We derive formulas for sectional curvatures on the…

For two measured laminations $\nu^+$ and $\nu^-$ that fill up a hyperbolizable surface $S$ and for $t \in (-\infty, \infty)$, let $L_t$ be the unique hyperbolic surface that minimizes the length function $e^t l(\nu^+) + e^{-t} l(\nu^-)$ on…

Let $f \in C^2(\mathbb{T}^2)$ have mean value 0 and consider $$ \sup_{\gamma~{\tiny \mbox{closed geodesic}}}{~~~ \frac{1}{|\gamma|} \left| \int_{\gamma}{ f ~~d\mathcal{H}^1}\right| },$$ where $\gamma$ ranges over all closed geodesics…

We define and study metrics and weak metrics on the Teichmueller space of a surface of topologically finite type with boundary. These metrics and weak metrics are associated to the hyperbolic length spectrum of simple closed curves and of…

Each free homotopy class of directed closed curves on a surface with boundary can be described by a cyclic reduced word in the generators of the fundamental group and their inverses. The word length is the number of letters of the cyclic…

Thurston's boundary to the universal Teichm\"uller space $T(\mathbb{H})$ is the set of asymptotic rays to the embedding of $T(\mathbb{H})$ in the space of geodesic currents; the boundary is identified with the projective bounded measured…

A well-known theorem of Wolpert shows that the Weil-Petersson symplectic form on Teichm\"uller space, computed on two infinitesimal twists along simple closed geodesics on a fixed hyperbolic surface, equals the sum of the cosines of the…

We consider a large class of geodesic metric spaces, including Banach spaces, hyperbolic spaces and geodesic $\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa)$-spaces, and investigate the space of nonexpansive mappings on either a convex or a star-shaped subset in…

We show the flexibility of the metric entropy and obtain additional restrictions on the topological entropy of geodesic flow on closed surfaces of negative Euler characteristic with smooth non-positively curved Riemannian metrics with fixed…

We propose and investigate a numerical shooting method for computing geodesics in the Weil-Petersson ($WP$) metric on the universal Teichm\"uller space T(1). This space, or rather the coset subspace $\PSL_2(\R)\backslash\Diff(S^1)$, has…

We construct cross sections for the geodesic flow on the orbifolds $\Gamma\backslash H$ which are tailor-made for the requirements of transfer operator approaches to Maass cusp forms and Selberg zeta functions. Here, $H$ denotes the…

In this paper we prove that for all $n=4k-2$, $k\ge2$ there exists a closed smooth complex hyperbolic manifold $M$ with real dimension $n$ having non-trivial $\pi_1(\mathcal{T}^{<0}(M))$. $\mathcal{T}^{<0}(M)$ denotes the Teichm\"uller…

Convexity properties of Weil-Petersson geodesics on the Teichm\"{u}ller space of punctured Riemann surfaces are investigated. A normal form is presented for the Weil-Petersson Levi-Civita connection for pinched hyperbolic metrics. The…

Identifying parallel sides of a collection of Euclidean polygons yields a flat surface with cone points of angles multiples of 2 pi, naturally a compact Riemann surface but also an algebraic curve, and a hyperbolic surface. In general two…

We consider the group of sense-preserving diffeomorphisms $\Diff S^1$ of the unit circle and its central extension, the Virasoro-Bott group, with their respective horizontal distributions chosen to be Ehresmann connections with respect to a…
