Enumeration of Border-Strip Decompositions and Weil-Petersson Volumes

We describe an injection from border-strip decompositions of certain diagrams to permutations. This allows us to provide enumeration results as well as q-analogues of enumeration formulas. Finally, we use this injection to prove a connection between the nu ...

The geometry of the universal Teichmuller space and the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

On the identity component of the universal Teichmuller space endowed with the Takhtajan-Teo topology, the geodesics of the Weil Petersson metric are shown to exist for all time. This component is naturally a subgroup of the quasisymmetric homeomorphisms of ...

Closing Large Hyperbolic 2g-gons : a Way to Study Hyperelliptic Riemann Surfaces of Genus g

Poincaré's uniformisation theorem says that any Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to a unique (up to isometry) surface of constant Gauss curvature 0, 1 or –1. The (topologically) richest of these three worlds is for curvature –1 formed of hyperboli ...

A geometric characterization of orient at ion-reversing involutions

Hugo Parlier

We give a geometric characterization of compact Riemann surfaces admitting orientation-reversing involutions with fixed points. Such surfaces are generally called real surfaces and can be represented by real algebraic curves with non-empty real part. We sh ...

Trace coordinates of Teichmüller spaces of Riemann surfaces

Thomas Gauglhofer

Using an algebraic formalism based on matrices in SL(2,R), we explicitly give the Teichmüller spaces of Riemann surfaces of signature (0,4) (X pieces), (1,2) ("Fish" pieces) and (2,0) in trace coordinates. The approach, based upon gluing together two build ...
