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.

Compact Riemann Surfaces

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.

Punctual Hilbert Scheme

Abstract We introduce and analyze a new geometric structure on topological surfaces generalizing the complex structure. To define this so-called higher complex structure, we use the punctual Hilbert scheme of the plane. The moduli space of higher complex structures is defined and is shown to be a generalization of the classical Teichmüller space. We give arguments for the conjectural isomorphism between the moduli space of higher complex structures and Hitchin’s component.

Dynamical Degrees

Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ be a post-critically finite branched covering of a two-sphere. By work of Koch, the Thurston pullback map induced by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ on Teichmüller space descends to a multivalued self-map—a Hurwitz correspondence ${\mathcal{H}}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}}$—of the moduli space ${\mathcal{M}}_{0,\mathbf{P}}$. We study the dynamics of Hurwitz correspondences via numerical invariants called dynamical degrees. We show that the sequence of dynamical degrees of ${\mathcal{H}}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}}$ is always non-increasing and that the behavior of this sequence is constrained by the behavior of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ at and near points of its post-critical set.

One of the basic geometric objects in conformal field theory (CFT) is the moduli space of Riemann surfaces whose n boundaries are "rigged" with analytic parametrizations. The fundamental operation is the sewing of such surfaces using the parametrizations to identify points. An alternative model is the moduli space of n-punctured Riemann surfaces together with local biholomorphic coordinates at the punctures. We refer to both of these moduli spaces as the "rigged Riemann moduli space".By generalizing to quasisymmetric boundary parametrizations, and defining rigged Teichmüller spaces in both the border and puncture pictures, we prove the following results: (1) The Teichmüller space of a genus-g surface bordered by n closed curves covers the rigged Riemann and rigged Teichmüller moduli spaces of surfaces of the same type, and induces complex manifold structures on them; (2) With this complex structure, the sewing operation is holomorphic; (3) The border and puncture pictures of the rigged moduli and rigged Teichmüller spaces are biholomorphically equivalent.These results are necessary in rigorously defining CFT (in the sense of G. Segal), as well as for the construction of CFT from vertex operator algebras.
