null (Ed.)Let ϕ : S 2 → S 2 \phi :S^2 \to S^2 be an orientation-preserving branched covering whose post-critical set has finite cardinality n n . If ϕ \phi has a fully ramified periodic point p ∞ p_{\infty } and satisfies certain additional conditions, then, by work of Koch, ϕ \phi induces a meromorphic self-map R ϕ R_{\phi } on the moduli space M 0 , n \mathcal {M}_{0,n} ; R ϕ R_{\phi } descends from Thurston’s pullback map on Teichmüller space. Here, we relate the dynamics of R ϕ R_{\phi } on M 0 , n \mathcal {M}_{0,n} to the dynamics of ϕ \phi on S 2 S^2 . Let ℓ \ell be the length of the periodic cycle in which the fully ramified point p ∞ p_{\infty } lies; we show that R ϕ R_{\phi } is algebraically stable on the heavy-light Hassett space corresponding to ℓ \ell heavy marked points and ( n − ℓ ) (n-\ell ) light points.more » « less

We consider the derivative
of the projection\begin{document}$ D\pi $\end{document} from a stratum of Abelian or quadratic differentials to Teichmüller space. A closed one-form\begin{document}$ \pi $\end{document} determines a relative cohomology class\begin{document}$ \eta $\end{document} , which is a tangent vector to the stratum. We give an integral formula for the pairing of\begin{document}$ [\eta]_\Sigma $\end{document} with a cotangent vector to Teichmüller space (a quadratic differential). We derive from this a comparison between Hodge and Teichmüller norms, which has been used in the work of Arana-Herrera on effective dynamics of mapping class groups, and which may clarify the relationship between dynamical and geometric hyperbolicity results in Teichmüller theory.\begin{document}$ D\pi([\eta]_\Sigma) $\end{document} -
We study the geometry of the Thurston metric on the Teichmüller space of hyperbolic structures on a surface $S$ . Some of our results on the coarse geometry of this metric apply to arbitrary surfaces $S$ of finite type; however, we focus particular attention on the case where the surface is a once-punctured torus. In that case, our results provide a detailed picture of the infinitesimal, local, and global behavior of the geodesics of the Thurston metric, as well as an analogue of Royden’s theorem.more » « less

null (Ed.)Abstract In this paper we prove that the limit set of any Weil–Petersson geodesic ray with uniquely ergodic ending lamination is a single point in the Thurston compactification of Teichmüller space. On the other hand, we construct examples of Weil–Petersson geodesics with minimal non-uniquely ergodic ending laminations and limit set a circle in the Thurston compactification.more » « less
