Angle Geometry in the Universal Teichmüller Space

چکیده
In this paper we investigate angle geometry in the universal Teichmüller space. We construct three examples of triangles bounded by geodesic segments such that the first example has the sum of the three inner angles less than π, the second example has the sum of the three angles equal to π, and the third example has the sum of the three angles greater than π. Our result gives a negative answer to a problem raised by Zhong Li and Yi Qi. Moreover, our results indicate that the universal Teichmüller space presents all hyperbolic, Euclidean, and spherical phenomena in angle geometry.

Weil-Petersson Geometry of the Universal Teichmüller Space
The universal Teichmüller space T (1) is the simplest Teichmüller space that bridges spaces of univalent functions and general Teichmüller spaces. It was introduced by Bers [Ber65, Ber72, Ber73] and it is an infinite-dimensional complex Banach manifold. The universal Teichmüller space T (1) contains Teichmüller spaces of Riemann surfaces as complex submanifolds. The universal Teichmüller space ...
متن کاملGeometry of the Complex of Curves and of Teichmüller Space
Using train tracks on a non-exceptional oriented surface S of finite type in a systematic way we give a proof that the complex of curves C(S) of S is a hyperbolic geodesic metric space. We also discuss the relation between the geometry of the complex of curves and the geometry of Teichmüller space.

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 Asymptotic Weil-Petersson Geometry of Teichmüller Space of Riemann Surfaces
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of curvatures of the Weil-Petersson metric in Teichmüller space. We use a pointwise curvature estimate to study directions, in the tangent space, of extremely negative curvature and directions of asymptotically zero curvatures.

We prove that the universal Teichmüller space T (1) carries a new structure of a complex Hilbert manifold. We show that the connected component of the identity of T (1), the Hilbert submanifold T0(1), is a topological group. We define a Weil-Petersson metric on T (1) by Hilbert space inner products on tangent spaces, compute its Riemann curvature tensor, and show that T (1) is a Kähler -Einstei...
