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.
