On Domains Biholomorphic to Teichmüller Spaces

Dual Teichmüller Spaces

We describe in elementary geometrical terms Teichmüller spaces of decorated and holed surfaces. We construct explicit global coordinates on them as well as on the spaces of measured laminations with compact and closed support respectively and show explicitly that the latter spaces are asymptotically isomorphic to the former. We discuss briefly quantisation of Teichmüller spaces and some other a...

Biholomorphic Maps between Teichmüller Spaces

In this paper we study biholomorphic maps between Teichmüller spaces and the induced linear isometries between the corresponding tangent spaces. The first main result in this paper is the following classification theorem. If M and N are two Riemann surfaces that are not of exceptional type, and if there exists a biholomorphic map between the corresponding Teichmüller spaces Teich(M) and Teich(N...

Dual Teichmüller and Lamination Spaces

We survey explicit coordinate descriptions for two (A and X) versions of Teichmüller and lamination spaces for open 2D surfaces, and extend them to the more general setup of surfaces with distinguished collections of points on the boundary. Main features, such as mapping class group action, Poisson and symplectic structures and others, are described in these terms. The lamination spaces are int...

Canonical Mappings between Teichmüller Spaces

Introduction. In an important survey article [BIO] Bers reported on the state of knowledge of Teichmüller theory. There has been a lot of progress in the field since that time. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the recent work in one area of Teichmüller space theory. We will concentrate on the hyperbolic properties of Teichmüller spaces, and present as many consequences of this hyperbol...
