Dual Teichmüller and Lamination Spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We survey explicit coordinate descriptions for two (A and X) versions of Teichmüller and lamination spaces for open 2D surfaces, and extend them to the more general setup of surfaces with distinguished collections of points on the boundary. Main features, such as mapping class group action, Poisson and symplectic structures and others, are described in these terms. The lamination spaces are interpreted as the tropical limits of the Teichmüller ones. Canonical pairings between lamination and Teichmüller spaces are constructed.

Stacks of Hyperbolic Spaces and Ends of 3-manifolds
In this paper we introduce the notion of a “stack” of geodesic spaces. Loosely speaking, this consists of a geodesic space decomposed into a sequence of “sheets” indexed by a set of consecutive integers. A stack is said to be “hyperbolic” if it is Gromov hyperbolic and its sheets are uniformly Gromov hyperbolic. We define a Cannon-Thurston map for such a stack, and show that the boundary of a o...
متن کاملMeasured Lamination Spaces for 3-Manifolds
One of Thurston’s important contributions to surface theory is his construction of measured lamination spaces. These spaces originally arose because their projectivizations form natural boundaries for Teichmüller spaces, but they are also of interest purely topologically. For example, they provide a nice global framework in which to view all the isotopy classes of simple closed curves in a surf...
متن کاملDual Teichmüller Spaces
We describe in elementary geometrical terms Teichmüller spaces of decorated and holed surfaces. We construct explicit global coordinates on them as well as on the spaces of measured laminations with compact and closed support respectively and show explicitly that the latter spaces are asymptotically isomorphic to the former. We discuss briefly quantisation of Teichmüller spaces and some other a...

LetG be a split semisimple algebraic group over Qwith trivial center. Let S be a compact oriented surface, with or without boundary. We define positive representations of the fundamental group of S to G(R), construct explicitly all positive representations, and prove that they are faithful, discrete, and positive hyperbolic; the moduli space of positive representations is a topologically trivia...
متن کاملBoundaries of Teichmüller spaces and end-invariants for hyperbolic 3-manifolds
We study two boundaries for the Teichmüller space of a surface Teich(S) due to Bers and Thurston. Each point in Bers’ boundary is a hyperbolic 3-manifold with an associated geodesic lamination on S, its endinvariant, while each point in Thurston’s is a measured geodesic lamination, up to scale. We show that when dimC(Teich(S)) > 1 the end-invariant is not a continuous map to Thurston’s boundary...
