We prove that the pressure metric on the Teichmüller space of a bordered surface is incomplete and that a completion can be given by the moduli space of metrics on a graph (dual to a special ideal triangulation of the same bordered surface) equipped with pressure metric. In contrast to the closed surface case, we obtain as a corollary that the pressure metric is not bi-Lipschitz to the Weil–Petersson metric.

Given a foliation F with closed leaves and with certain kinds of singularities on an oriented closed surface Σ, we construct in this paper an isotropic foliation on ℳ(Σ), the moduli space of flat G-connections, for G any compact simple simply connected Lie-group. We describe the infinitesimal structure of this isotropic foliation in terms of the basic cohomology with twisted coefficients of F. For any pair (F, g), where g is a singular metric on Σ compatible with F, we construct a new polarization on the symplectic manifold ℳ′(Σ), the open dense subset of smooth points of ℳ(Σ). We construct a sequence of complex structures on Σ, such that the corresponding complex structures on ℳ′(Σ) converges to the polarization associated to (F, g). In particular we see that the Jeffrey–Weitzman polarization on the SU(2)-moduli space is the limit of a sequence of complex structures induced from a degenerating family of complex structures on Σ, which converges to a point in the Thurston boundary of Teichmüller space of Σ. As a corollary of the above constructions, we establish a certain discontinuiuty at the Thurston boundary of Teichmüller space for the map from Teichmüller space to the space of polarizations on ℳ′(Σ). For any reducible finite order diffeomorphism of the surface, our constuction produces an invariant polarization on the moduli space.

We use meromorphic quadratic differentials with higher order poles to parametrize the Teichmüller space of crowned hyperbolic surfaces. Such a surface is obtained on uniformizing a compact Riemann surface with marked points on its boundary components, and has noncompact ends with boundary cusps. This extends Wolf’s parametrization of the Teichmüller space of a closed surface using holomorphic quadratic differentials. Our proof involves showing the existence of a harmonic map from a punctured Riemann surface to a crowned hyperbolic surface, with prescribed principal parts of its Hopf differential which determine the geometry of the map near the punctures.

Abstract We prove that the Teichmüller space $\mathscr{T}$ of a closed surface of genus $g \ge 2$ cannot be biholomorphic to any domain which is locally strictly convex at some boundary point.

We consider bordered Riemann surfaces which are biholomorphic to compact Riemann surfaces of genus g with n regions biholomorphic to the disk removed. We define a refined Teichmüller space of such Riemann surfaces (which we refer to as the WP-class Teichmüller space) and demonstrate that in the case that 2g + 2 - n > 0, this refined Teichmüller space is a Hilbert manifold. The inclusion map from the refined Teichmüller space into the usual Teichmüller space (which is a Banach manifold) is holomorphic. We also show that the rigged moduli space of Riemann surfaces with non-overlapping holomorphic maps, appearing in conformal field theory, is a complex Hilbert manifold. This result requires an analytic reformulation of the moduli space, by enlarging the set of non-overlapping mappings to a class of maps intermediate between analytically extendible maps and quasiconformally extendible maps. Finally, we show that the rigged moduli space is the quotient of the refined Teichmüller space by a properly discontinuous group of biholomorphisms.

We give a simple proof of a theorem of McMullen on Kähler hyperbolicity of moduli space of Riemann surfaces by using the Bergman metric on Teichmüller space.
