Teichmuller space of a marked surface
Given marked surface (S,M) , the Teichmuller space T(S,M) is the space of metrics on (S,M) such that
- are hyperbolic (constant curvature -1)
- have geodesic boundary at boundary of S
- local neighborhood of point on boundary S can be mapped isometrically to neighborhood of a point here on one side of geodesic
- have cusps at points in M
Considered up to diffeomorphism homotopic to identity.
Facts
(1) T(S,M) contractible
(2) T(S,M) is manifold of dimension 6g-6+2p+3b+c where g = genus, p=# of puncture, b = # boundary component, c=# of marked points on boundary
\def
An ideal triangle in (S,M) is a triangle with vertices at M, whose sides are geodesics.
\def
A horocycle at marked point p is a set of points "equidistant" to p. In lift to H^2, looks like circle tangent to boundary at p.
decorated Teichmuller space
\def decorated Teichmuller space \tilde{T}(S,M) is
- a point in T(S,M)
- a choic of horocycle around each cusp from M
\def (Penner) For a arc A in (S,M) and \Sigma\in\tilde{T}(S,M),
the length of A with respect to \Sigma is
l_{\Sigma(A) = length on geodesic representative of A between intersections with horocycles around ends. (negative if 2 horocycles intersect)
The \lambda - length is \lambda_{\Sigma}(A) : = e^{l_{\Sigma}(A)/2}
Note : \lambda_{\Sigma}(A) in \mathbb{R}_{> 0 }
\prop
In an ideal quadrilateral, the Ptolemy relation holds.

For any triangulation (A_{i})
