Abstract

We study isometric maps between Teichmüller spaces and bounded symmetric domains in their Kobayashi metric. We prove that every totally geodesic isometry from a disk to Teichmüller space is either holomorphic or anti-holomorphic; in particular, it is a Teichmüller disk. However, we prove that in dimensions two or more there are no holomorphic isometric immersions between Teichmüller spaces and bounded symmetric domains and also prove a similar result for isometric submersions.
