This book was released on 2004-10-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph is concerned with the modulus of families of curves on Riemann surfaces and its applications to extremal problems for conformal, quasiconformal mappings, and the extension of the modulus onto Teichmüller spaces. The main part of the monograph deals with extremal problems for compact classes of univalent conformal and quasiconformal mappings. Many of them are grouped around two-point distortion theorems. Montel's functions and functions with fixed angular derivatives are also considered. The last portion of problems is directed to the extension of the modulus varying the complex structure of the underlying Riemann surface that sheds some new light on the metric problems of Teichmüller spaces.

Download or read book Quasiconformal Teichmuller Theory written by Frederick P. Gardiner and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Teichmüller space T(X) is the space of marked conformal structures on a given quasiconformal surface X. This volume uses quasiconformal mapping to give a unified and up-to-date treatment of T(X). Emphasis is placed on parts of the theory applicable to noncompact surfaces and to surfaces possibly of infinite analytic type. The book provides a treatment of deformations of complex structures on infinite Riemann surfaces and gives background for further research in many areas. These include applications to fractal geometry, to three-dimensional manifolds through its relationship to Kleinian groups, and to one-dimensional dynamics through its relationship to quasisymmetric mappings. Many research problems in the application of function theory to geometry and dynamics are suggested.

Download or read book Geometry of Riemann Surfaces and Teichm ller Spaces written by M. Seppälä and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-18 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moduli problem is to describe the structure of the space of isomorphism classes of Riemann surfaces of a given topological type. This space is known as the moduli space and has been at the center of pure mathematics for more than a hundred years. In spite of its age, this field still attracts a lot of attention, the smooth compact Riemann surfaces being simply complex projective algebraic curves. Therefore the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces is also the moduli space of complex algebraic curves. This space lies on the intersection of many fields of mathematics and may be studied from many different points of view. The aim of this monograph is to present information about the structure of the moduli space using as concrete and elementary methods as possible. This simple approach leads to a rich theory and opens a new way of treating the moduli problem, putting new life into classical methods that were used in the study of moduli problems in the 1920s.
Download or read book Lectures on Quasiconformal Mappings written by Lars Valerian Ahlfors and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2006-07-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lars Ahlfors's Lectures on Quasiconformal Mappings, based on a course he gave at Harvard University in the spring term of 1964, was first published in 1966 and was soon recognized as the classic it was shortly destined to become. These lectures develop the theory of quasiconformal mappings from scratch, give a self-contained treatment of the Beltrami equation, and cover the basic properties of Teichmuller spaces, including the Bers embedding and the Teichmuller curve. It is remarkable how Ahlfors goes straight to the heart of the matter, presenting major results with a minimum set of prerequisites. Many graduate students and other mathematicians have learned the foundations of the theories of quasiconformal mappings and Teichmuller spaces from these lecture notes. This edition includes three new chapters. The first, written by Earle and Kra, describes further developments in the theory of Teichmuller spaces and provides many references to the vast literature on Teichmuller spaces and quasiconformal mappings. The second, by Shishikura, describes how quasiconformal mappings have revitalized the subject of complex dynamics. The third, by Hubbard, illustrates the role of these mappings in Thurston's theory of hyperbolic structures on 3-manifolds. Together, these three new chapters exhibit the continuing vitality and importance of the theory of quasiconformal mappings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping class groups and moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces were the topics of the Graduate Summer School at the 2011 IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute. This book presents the nine different lecture series comprising the summer school, covering a selection of topics of current interest. The introductory courses treat mapping class groups and Teichmüller theory. The more advanced courses cover intersection theory on moduli spaces, the dynamics of polygonal billiards and moduli spaces, the stable cohomology of mapping class groups, the structure of Torelli groups, and arithmetic mapping class groups. The courses consist of a set of intensive short lectures offered by leaders in the field, designed to introduce students to exciting, current research in mathematics. These lectures do not duplicate standard courses available elsewhere. The book should be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers interested in the topology, geometry and dynamics of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces and related topics. Titles in this series are co-published with the Institute for Advanced Study/Park City Mathematics Institute.

Download or read book An Introduction to Teichm ller Spaces written by Yoichi Imayoshi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an easy and compact access to the theory of TeichmA1/4ller spaces, starting from the most elementary aspects to the most recent developments, e.g. the role this theory plays with regard to string theory. TeichmA1/4ller spaces give parametrization of all the complex structures on a given Riemann surface. This subject is related to many different areas of mathematics including complex analysis, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, topology in two and three dimensions, Kleinian and Fuchsian groups, automorphic forms, complex dynamics, and ergodic theory. Recently, TeichmA1/4ller spaces have begun to play an important role in string theory. Imayoshi and Taniguchi have attempted to make the book as self-contained as possible. They present numerous examples and heuristic arguments in order to help the reader grasp the ideas of TeichmA1/4ller theory. The book will be an excellent source of information for graduate students and reserachers in complex analysis and algebraic geometry as well as for theoretical physicists working in quantum theory.
Download or read book The Complex Analytic Theory of Teichmuller Spaces written by Subhashis Nag and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1988-03-03 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible, self-contained treatment of the complex structure of the Teichmüller moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Complex analysts, geometers, and especially string theorists (!) will find this work indispensable. The Teichmüller space, parametrizing all the various complex structures on a given surface, itself carries (in a completely natural way) the complex structure of a finite- or infinite-dimensional complex manifold. Nag emphasizes the Bers embedding of Teichmüller spaces and deals with various types of complex-analytic coördinates for them. This is the first book in which a complete exposition is given of the most basic fact that the Bers projection from Beltrami differentials onto Teichmüller space is a complex analytic submersion. The fundamental universal property enjoyed by Teichmüller space is given two proofs and the Bers complex boundary is examined to the point where totally degenerate Kleinian groups make their spectacular appearance. Contains much material previously unpublished.
Download or read book Gesammelte Abhandlungen Collected Papers written by Oswald Teichmüller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his short life Oswald Teichmüller wrote 34 papers, all reproduced in this volume. From the Preface: "Teichmüller's most influential paper was called "Extremale quasikonforme Abbildungen und quadratische Differentiale" (No. 20 in this collection). At the time of its appearance several special cases of extremal problems for quasiconformal mappings had already been solved, and Teichmüller was able to draw on a substantial fund of experience. Nevertheless, it was a remarkable feat to extract the common features of all the known examples and formulate a conjecture, now known as Teichmüller's theorem, which in an unexpected way connects the holomorphic second order differentials on a Riemann surface with the extremal quasiconformal mappings of that surface. The paper of 1939 contains a uniqueness proof, which is essentially still the only known proof, but not yet a rigorous existence proof. This did not prevent Teichmüller from laying the foundation of what has become known as the theory of Teichmüller spaces, a theory that has mushroomed to an extent that could not then have been foreseen. At the same time Teichmüller's work led to a deeper understanding of the fundamental role played by quasiconformal mappings in all of geometric function theory, and it foreshadowed the subsequent development of the theory of quasiconformal mappings in several dimensions... the whole theory of analytic functions of one complex variable has been greatly enriched by the inclusion of quasiconformal mappings, much of it based on Teichmüller's seminal ideas."

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph grew out of the notes relating to the lecture courses that I gave at the University of Helsinki from 1977 to 1979, at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zurich in 1980, and at the University of Minnesota in 1982. The book presumably would never have been written without Fred Gehring's continuous encouragement. Thanks to the arrangements made by Edgar Reich and David Storvick, I was able to spend the fall term of 1982 in Minneapolis and do a good part of the writing there. Back in Finland, other commitments delayed the completion of the text. At the final stages of preparing the manuscript, I was assisted first by Mika Seppala and then by Jouni Luukkainen, who both had a grant from the Academy of Finland. I am greatly indebted to them for the improvements they made in the text. I also received valuable advice and criticism from Kari Astala, Richard Fehlmann, Barbara Flinn, Fred Gehring, Pentti Jarvi, Irwin Kra, Matti Lehtinen, I1ppo Louhivaara, Bruce Palka, Kurt Strebel, Kalevi Suominen, Pekka Tukia and Kalle Virtanen. To all of them I would like to express my gratitude. Raili Pauninsalo deserves special thanks for her patience and great care in typing the manuscript. Finally, I thank the editors for accepting my text in Springer-Verlag's well known series. Helsinki, Finland June 1986 Olli Lehto Contents Preface. ... v Introduction ...
