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.

Abstract We derive a quadratic recursion relation for the linear Hodge integrals of the form $\langle \tau _{2}^{n}\lambda _{k}\rangle $ . These numbers are used in a formula for Masur-Veech volumes of moduli spaces of quadratic differentials discovered by Chen, Möller and Sauvaget. Therefore, our recursion provides an efficient way of computing these volumes.

We study stability conditions on the Calabi–Yau-[Formula: see text] categories associated to an affine type [Formula: see text] quiver which can be constructed from certain meromorphic quadratic differentials with zeroes of order [Formula: see text]. We follow Ikeda’s work to show that this moduli space of quadratic differentials is isomorphic to the space of stability conditions quotient by the spherical subgroup of the autoequivalence group. We show that the spherical subgroup is isomorphic to the braid group of affine type [Formula: see text] based on the Khovanov–Seidel–Thomas method.

A sufficient condition for the existence of holomorphic quadratic differential on a non-compact simply-connected Riemann surface with prescribed horizontal and vertical trees is obtained. In particular, for any pair of complete ℝ-trees of finite vertices with (n + 2) infinite edges, there exists a polynomial quadratic differential on ℂ of degree n such that the associated vertical and horizontal trees are isometric to the given pair.
