AbstractLet X0 be an infinite-type hyperbolic surface (whose boundary components, if any, are closed geodesics) which has an upper bounded pants decomposition. The length spectrum Teichmüller space Tls(X0) consists of all surfaces X homeomorphic to X0 such that the ratios of the corresponding simple closed geodesics are uniformly bounded from below and from above. Alessandrini, Liu, Papadopoulos and Su [1] described the Fenchel–Nielsen coordinates for Tls(X0) and using these coordinates they proved that Tls(X0) is path connected. We use the Fenchel–Nielsen coordinates for Tls(X0) to induce a locally bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism between l∞ and Tls(X0) (which extends analogous results by Fletcher [9] and by Allessandrini, Liu, Papadopoulos, Su and Sun [2] for the unreduced and the reduced Tqc(X0)). Consequently, Tls(X0) is contractible. We also characterize the closure in the length spectrum metric of the quasiconformal Teichmüller space Tqc(X0) in Tls(X0).

Teichmüller Mapping

This chapter focuses on the metric geometry of Teichmüller space. It first explains how one can think of Teich(Sɡ) as the space of complex structures on Sɡ. To this end, the chapter defines quasiconformal maps between surfaces and presents a solution to the resulting Teichmüller's extremal problem. It also considers the correspondence between complex structures and hyperbolic structures, along with the Teichmüller mapping, Teichmüller metric, and the proof of Teichmüller's uniqueness and existence theorems. The fundamental connection between Teichmüller's theorems, holomorphic quadratic differentials, and measured foliations is discussed as well. Finally, the chapter describes the Grötzsch's problem, whose solution is tied to the proof of Teichmüller's uniqueness theorem.

The study of the mapping class group Mod(S) is a classical topic that is experiencing a renaissance. It lies at the juncture of geometry, topology, and group theory. This book explains as many important theorems, examples, and techniques as possible, quickly and directly, while at the same time giving full details and keeping the text nearly self-contained. The book is suitable for graduate students. It begins by explaining the main group-theoretical properties of Mod(S), from finite generation by Dehn twists and low-dimensional homology to the Dehn–Nielsen–Baer–theorem. Along the way, central objects and tools are introduced, such as the Birman exact sequence, the complex of curves, the braid group, the symplectic representation, and the Torelli group. The book then introduces Teichmüller space and its geometry, and uses the action of Mod(S) on it to prove the Nielsen-Thurston classification of surface homeomorphisms. Topics include the topology of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, the connection with surface bundles, pseudo-Anosov theory, and Thurston's approach to the classification.
