Geodesic Length Functions and Teichmüller Spaces

چکیده
Abstract Given a compact orientable surface with finitely many punctures Σ, let S(Σ) be the set of isotopy classes of essential unoriented simple closed curves in Σ. We determine a complete set of relations for a function from S(Σ) to R to be the geodesic length function of a hyperbolic metric with geodesic boundary and cusp ends on Σ. As a consequence, the Teichmüller space of hyperbolic metrics with geodesic boundary and cusp ends on Σ is reconstructed from an intrinsic (QP , PSL(2,Z)) structure on S(Σ). §0. Introduction

Convexity and Geodesic Metric Spaces
In this paper, we first present a preliminary study on metric segments and geodesics in metric spaces. Then we recall the concept of d-convexity of sets and functions in the sense of Menger and study some properties of d-convex sets and d-convex functions as well as extreme points and faces of d-convex sets in normed spaces. Finally we study the continuity of d-convex functions in geodesic metr...
متن کاملLength Asymptotics in Higher Teichmüller Theory
In this note, we recover a recent result of Sambarino by showing that certain length functions arising in higher Teichmüller theory satisfy a Prime Geodesic Theorem analogous to that of Huber in the classical case. We also show that there are more sophisticated distributional and limiting results.
متن کاملMultiplicities of Simple Closed Geodesics and Hypersurfaces in Teichmüller Space
Using geodesic length functions, we define a natural family of real codimension 1 subvarieties of Teichmüller space, namely the subsets where the lengths of two distinct simple closed geodesics are of equal length. We investigate the point set topology of the union of all such hypersurfaces using elementary methods. Finally, this analysis is applied to investigate the nature of the Markoff conj...
متن کاملParametrizations of Teichmüller Spaces by Trace Functions and Action of Mapping Class Groups
We give a set of trace functions which give a global parametrization of the Teichmüller space T (g, n)(L1, . . . , Ln) of hyperbolic surfaces of genus g with n geodesic boundary components of lengths L1,. . . , Ln such that the action of the mapping class group on the Teichmüller space can be represented by rational transformations in the parameters.
متن کاملExtremal Length Estimates and Product Regions in Teichmüller Space
We study the Teichmüller metric on the Teichmüller space of a surface of finite type, in regions where the injectivity radius of the surface is small. The main result is that in such regions the Teichmüller metric is approximated up to bounded additive distortion by the sup metric on a product of lower dimensional spaces. The main technical tool in the proof is the use of estimates of extremal ...
