The Visual Sphere of Teichmüller Space and a Theorem of Masur–wolf
نویسندگان
چکیده
In [MW], Masur and Wolf proved that the Teichmüller space of genus g > 1 surfaces with the Teichmüller metric is not a Gromov hyperbolic space. In this paper, we provide an alternative proof based upon a study of the visual sphere of Teichmüller space.

Weil–petersson Isometries via the Pants Complex
We extend a theorem of Masur and Wolf which says that given a hyperbolic surface S, every isometry of the Teichmüller space for S with the Weil–Petersson metric is induced by an element of the mapping class group for S. Our argument handles the previously untreated cases of the four-holed sphere and the torus with one or two holes.
متن کاملLinear Weingarten hypersurfaces in a unit sphere
In this paper, by modifying Cheng-Yau$'$s technique to complete hypersurfaces in $S^{n+1}(1)$, we prove a rigidity theorem under the hypothesis of the mean curvature and the normalized scalar curvature being linearly related which improve the result of [H. Li, Hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in space forms, {em Math. Ann.} {305} (1996), 665--672].
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Geometry of the Teichmüller Metric: Dimension and Rank
We analyze the asymptotic cones of Teichmüller space with the Teichmüller metric, pT pSq, dT q. We give a new proof of a theorem of Eskin-Masur-Rafi [EMR13] which bounds the dimension of quasiisometrically embedded flats in pT pSq, dT q. Our approach is an application of the ideas of Behrstock [Beh06] and Behrstock-Minsky [BM08] to the quasiisometry model we built for pT pSq, dT q in [Dur13].
متن کاملStatistical Hyperbolicity in Teichmüller Space
In this paper we explore the idea that Teichmüller space with the Teichmüller metric is hyperbolic “on average.” We consider several different measures on Teichmüller space and show that with respect to each one, the average distance between points in a ball of radius r is asymptotic to 2r, which is as large as possible.
متن کاملOn Behavior of Pairs of Teichmüller Geodesic Rays
In this paper, we obtain the explicit limit value of the Teichmüller distance between two Teichmüller geodesic rays which are determined by Jenkins-Strebel differentials having a common end point in the augmented Teichmüller space. Furthermore, we also obtain a condition under which these two rays are asymptotic. This is similar to a result of Farb and Masur.
