Teichmüller space


Definition.

Let S0 be a Riemann surface. Consider all pairs (S,f) whereS is a Riemann surface and f is a sense-preserving quasiconformalmapping of S0 onto S. We say (S1,f1)(S2,f2) if f2f1-1 is homotopicMathworldPlanetmath to a conformal mappingMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of S1 onto S2. In this case we say that (S1,f1) and (S2,f2) are Teichmüller equivalentMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath. The space of equivalence classesMathworldPlanetmath under this relationMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath is called the Teichmüller space T(S0) and (S0,I) is called the initialpoint of T(S0). The equivalence relation is called Teichmüller equivalence.

Definition.

There exists a natural Teichmüller metric on T(S0), where the distancebetween (S1,f1) and (S2,f2) is logK where K is the smallest maximal dilatation of a mapping homotopic to f2f1-1.

There is also a natural isometry between T(S0) and T(S1) defined bya quasiconformal mapping of S0 onto S1. The mapping(S,f)(S,fg) induces an isometric mapping of T(S1) onto T(S0). So we could think of T() as a contravariant functorMathworldPlanetmath fromthe categoryMathworldPlanetmath of Riemann surfaces with quasiconformal maps to the category ofTeichmüller spaces (as a subcategoryMathworldPlanetmath of metric spaces).
