A Sufficient Condition for Rigidity in Extremality of Teichmuller Equivalence Classes by Schwarzian Derivative

The Strebel point is a TeichmOller equivalence class in the Teichmuller space that has a certain rigidity in the extremality of the maximal dilatation. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition in terms of the Schwarzian derivative for a Teichmuller equivalence class of the universal Teichmuller space under which the class is a Strebel point. As an application, we construct a Teichmuller equivalence class that is a Strebel point and that is not an asymptotically conformal class.     

On a Relation between the Universal Teichmu¨ller Space and the Grunsky Operator

Being a Strebel point gives a sufficient condition for that the extremal Beltrami coefficient is uniquely determined in a Teichmüller equivalence class.We consider how Strebel points are characterized.In this paper,we will give a new characterization of Strebel points in a certain subset of the universal Teichmüller space by a property of the Grunsky operator.     

Convergence of earthquake and horocycle paths to the boundary of Teichm¨uller space

We study the convergence of earthquake paths and horocycle paths in the Gardiner-Masur compactification of Teichm¨uller space. We show that an earthquake path directed by a uniquely ergodic or simple closed measured geodesic lamination converges to the Gardiner-Masur boundary. Using the embedding of flat metrics into the space of geodesic currents, we prove that a horocycle path in Teichm¨uller space, which is induced by a quadratic differential whose vertical measured foliation is uniquely ergodic, converges to the Gardiner-Masur boundary and to the Thurston boundary.     

On a relation between the universal Teichmüller space and the Grunsky operator

Being a Strebel point gives a sufficient condition for that the extremal Beltrami coefficient is uniquely determined in a Teichmiiller equivalence class. We consider how Strebel points are characterized. In this paper, we will give a new characterization of Strebel points in a certain subset of the universal Teichmfiller space by a property of the Grunsky operator.     

THE REAL HYPER-ELLIPTIC SUBSPACES OF TEICHMüLLER SPACE AND MODULI SPACE

Although the existence and uniqueness of Strebel differentials are proved by Jenkins and Strebel, the specific constructions of Strebel differentials are difficult. Two special kinds of special Strebel differentials are constructed in [5, 6]. The Strebel rays [3] and the eventually distance minimizing rays [9] are important in Teichm¨uller spaces and moduli spaces, respectively. Motivated by the study of [3, 9], two special kinds of Strebel rays in the real hyper-elliptic subspace of Teichm¨uller space and two special kinds of EDM rays in the real hyper-elliptic subspace of moduli space are studied in this article.     

Besov Functions and Tangent Space to the Integrable Teichmüller Space

The authors identify the function space which is the tangent space to the integrable Teichm¨uller space. By means of quasiconformal deformation and an operator induced by a Zygmund function, several characterizations of this function space are obtained.     

Isometric Embeddings of Subsets of Boundaries of Teichmüller Spaces of Compact Hyperbolic Riemann Surfaces

It is known that every finitely unbranched holomorphic covering π:S→S of a compact Riemann surface S with genus g≥2 induces an isometric embedding Φπ:Teich(S)→Teich(S).By the mutual relations between Strebel rays in Teich(S)and their embeddings in Teich(S),we show that the 1 st-strata space of the augmented Teichmüller space Teich(S)can be embedded in the augmented Teichmüller space Teich(S)isometrically.Furthermore,we show that Φπ induces an isometric embedding from the set Teich(S)B(∞)consisting of Busemann points in the horofunction boundary of Teich(S)into Teich(S)B(∞)with the detour metric.     

On the equivalence of extremal Teichmller mapping

Let T(△) and B(△) be the Teichmuller space and the infinitesimal Teichmuller space of the unit disk △ respectively. In this paper, we show that [ν]B(△) being an infinitesimal Strebel point does not imply that [ν]T(△) is a Strebel point, vice versa. As an application of our results, problems proposed by Yao are solved.     

A note on the density of a subset of all integrable holomorphic quadratic differentials

Let T0(Δ) be the subset of the universal Teichm¨uller space, which consists all of the elements with boundary dilatation 1. Let SQ(Δ) be the unit ball of the space Q(Δ) of all integrable holomorphic quadratic differentials on the unit disk Δ and Q0(Δ) be defined as Q0(Δ) = {? ∈ SQ(Δ) : there exists a k ∈(0, 1) such that [kˉ? |?|] ∈ T0(Δ)}. In this paper, we show that Q0(Δ) is dense in SQ(Δ).     

Teichmller space of negatively curved metrics on complex hyperbolic manifolds is not contractible

We prove that for all n = 4k- 2 and k 2 there exists a closed smooth complex hyperbolic manifold M with real dimension n having non-trivial π1(T0(M)). T0(M) denotes the Teichm¨uller space of all negatively curved Riemannian metrics on M, which is the topological quotient of the space of all negatively curved metrics modulo the space of self-diffeomorphisms of M that are homotopic to the identity.     

On enumeration of polynomial equivalence classes

The isomorphism of polynomials(IP),one of the hard problems in multivariate public key cryptography induces an equivalence relation on a set of systems of polynomials.Then the enumeration problem of IP consists of counting the numbers of different classes and counting the cardinality of each class that is highly related to the scale of key space for a multivariate public key cryptosystem.In this paper we show the enumeration of the equivalence classes containing ∑n-1 i=0 aiX2qi when char(Fq) = 2,which implies that these polynomials are all weak IP instances.Moreover,we study the cardinality of an equivalence class containing the binomial aX 2q i + bX 2qj(i=j) over Fqn without the restriction that char(Fq) = 2,which gives us a deeper understanding of finite geometry as a tool to investigate the enumeration problem of IP.     

Convex hull of set in thick part of Teichmller space

Let X be a non-elementary Riemann surface of type(g,n),where g is the number of genus and n is the number of punctures with 3g-3+n1.Let T(X)be the Teichmller space of X.By constructing a certain subset E of T(X),we show that the convex hull of E with respect to the Teichmller metric,the Carathodory metric and the Weil-Petersson metric is not in any thick part of the Teichmler space,respectively.This implies that convex hulls of thick part of Teichmller space with respect to these metrics are not always in thick part of Teichmller space,as well as the facts that thick part of Teichmller space is not always convex with respect to these metrics.     

Some Properties of an Operator on L^∞（△） and Its Applications

In this paper, we introduce an operator Hμ（z） on L^∞（△） and obtain some of its properties. Some applications of this operator to the extremal problem of quasiconformal mappings are given. In particular, a sufficient condition for a point r in the universal Teichmfiller space T（△） to be a Strebel point is obtained.     

A function model for the Teichmüller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann surface

We introduce a function model for the Teichmüller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann surface.Then we introduce a new metric on the Teichmüller space by using the maximum norm on the function space.We prove that the identity map from the Teichmüller space equipped with the Teichmüller metric to the Teichmüller space equipped with this new metric is uniformly continuous. Moreover, we prove that the inverse of the identity, i.e., the identity map from the Teichmüller space equipped with this new metric to the Teichmüller space equipped with the Teichmüller metric, is continuous(but not uniformly). Therefore, the topology induced by the new metric is the same as the topology induced by the Teichmüller metric on the Teichmüller space.Finally, we give a remark about the pressure metric on the function model and the Weil-Petersson metric on the Teichmüller space.     

Hausdorff dimension of quasi-cirles of polygonal mappings and its applications

We show that the Hausdorff dimension of quasi-circles of polygonal mappings is one.Furthermore,we apply this result to the theory of extremal quasiconformal mappings.Let [μ] be a point in the universal Teichmller space such that the Hausdorff dimension of fμ(Δ) is bigger than one.We show that for every kn∈(0,1) and polygonal differentials ψn,n=1,2,...,the sequence {[kn ψn/|ψn|]} cannot converge to [μ] under the Teichmer metric.     

A BINARY INFINITESIMAL FORM OF TEICHMLLER METRIC AND ANGLES IN AN ASYMPTOTIC TEICHMLLER SPACE

The geometry of Teichmller metric in an asymptotic Teichmller space is studied in this article. First, a binary infinitesimal form of Teichmller metric on AT(X) is proved.Then, the notion of angles between two geodesic curves in the asymptotic Teichmller space AT(X) is introduced. The existence of such angles is proved and the explicit formula is obtained. As an application, a sufficient condition for non-uniqueness geodesics in AT(X) is obtained.     

On the Compactness of Grunsky Differential Operators

Grunsky operators play an important role in classical geometric function theory and in the study of Teichmüller spaces. The Grunsky map is known to be holomorphic on the universal Teichmüller space. In this paper the authors deal with the compactness of a Grunsky differential operator. They will give upper and lower estimates of the essential norm of a Grunsky differential operator and discuss when a Grunsky differential operator is a p-Schatten class operator.     

EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO FRACTIONAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this paper, using fixed point theorems of general β-concave operators in ordered Banach space, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions to a class of fractional boundary problem. In the end, an example is given to illustrate our main result.     

Chains of function spaces over Euclidian spaces and local fields

The Lipschitz class Lip(K, α) on a local field K is defined in [10], and an equivalent relationship between the Ho¨lder type space Cα(K)[9] and Lip(K,α) is given. In this note, we give a “chain of function spaces“ over Euclidian space by defining higher order continuous modulus in R, and point out that there is no need of higher order continuous modulus for describing the chain of function spaces over local fields.     

ON SPACES OF FRACTAL FUNCTIONS

In this paper we Ointroduce linear-spaces consisting of continuous functions whose graphs are the attactars of a special class of iterated function systems. We show that such spaces are finite dimensional and give the bases of these spaces in an implicit way. Given such a space, we discuss how to obtain a set of knots for whah the Lagrange interpolation problem by the space is uniquely solvable.
