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.

With respect to Teichmüller spaces, many beautiful results are obtained by TeichmüUer, Ahlfors, Bers, Maskit, Kra, Earle, Abikoff, and others. For example, the boundary consists of b-groups, and the augmented Teichmüller space is defined by attaching a part of the boundary to the Teichmüller space. By using the augmented Teichmüller space, a compactification of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces is accomplished (cf. Abikoff [1], Bers [2]).

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.

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.

In this paper we study the Teichmüller space of constructible Koebe groups. These are Kleinian groups arising from planar covering of 2-orbifolds. In the first part, we parametrize the Teichmüller spaces of Koebe groups using a technique that can be applied to explicitly compute generators of these groups, maybe by programming a computer. In the second part, we study some properties of these Teichmüller spaces. More precisely, we find the covering group of these spaces (the universal covering is the Teichmüller space of the punctured surface), and prove an isomorphism theorem similar to the Bers–Greenberg theorem for Fuchsian groups.

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.

Our aim is to compute for all n > 2, ψ(n, h), the number of components of a certain quotient of the fixed point set of an involution in the "mod-n" Teichmuller space. This answers part of a question raised by Earle [2] and corrects and extends the answer due to Zarrow (See Theorem 2 of [6]).

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.
