dc.description.abstract | It is known that any two points in Teichmuller space are joined by an earthquake path. In this paper we show any earthquake path \(\mathbb{R} \rightarrow T(S)\) extends to a proper holomorphic mapping of a simplyconnected domain D into Teichmuller space, where \(\mathbb{R} ⊂ \mathbb{D} ⊂ \mathbb{C}\). These complex earthquakes relate Weil-Petersson geometry, projective structures, pleated surfaces and quasifuchsian groups. Using complex earthquakes, we prove grafting is a homeomorphism for all 1-dimensional Teichmuller spaces, and we construct bending coordinates on Bers slices and their generalizations. In the appendix we use projective surfaces to show the closure of quasifuchsian space is not a topological manifold. | en_US |
