Complex earthquakes and Teichmüller theory
نویسنده
چکیده
It is known that any two points in Teichmüller space are joined by an earthquake path. In this paper we show any earthquake path R → T (S) extends to a proper holomorphic mapping of a simplyconnected domain D into Teichmüller space, where R ⊂ D ⊂ C. These complex earthquakes relate Weil-Petersson geometry, projective structures, pleated surfaces and quasifuchsian groups. Using complex earthquakes, we prove grafting is a homeomorphism for all 1-dimensional Teichmüller spaces, and we construct bending coordinates on Bers slices and their generalizations. In the appendix we use projective surfaces to show the closure of quasifuchsian space is not a topological manifold.

The Universal Properties of Teichmüller Spaces
We discuss universal properties of general Teichmüller spaces. Our topics include the Teichmüller metric and the Kobayashi metric, extremality and unique extremality of quasiconformal mappings, biholomorphic maps between Teichmüller space, earthquakes and Thurston boundary.
متن کاملOn a Teichmüller functor between the categories of complex and noncommutative tori
A covariant functor from category of complex tori to the category of noncommutative tori is constructed. The functor maps isomorphic complex tori to the Morita equivalent noncommutative tori. Our construction is based on the Teichmüller theory of Riemann surfaces.

متن کاملAn Introduction to p-adic Teichmüller Theory
The goal of the present manuscript is to provide an introduction to the theory of uniformization of p-adic hyperbolic curves and their moduli of [Mzk1,2]. On the one hand, this theory generalizes the Fuchsian and Bers uniformizations of complex hyperbolic curves and their moduli to nonarchimedean places. It is for this reason that we shall often refer to this theory as p-adic Teichmüller theory...
متن کاملLuminous Phenomena of Earthquakes: Observations and Theories
Over the past few years, different theories (piezoelectric, positive holes, friction-vaporization, exo-electron emission, tribo- or fracture electrification) have been presented for the interpretation of earthquake lights. Although these theories can interpret earthquake luminous, each suffer from particular problems. There are also ambiguities and questions about the location of the light, the...
