Weil-Petersson metric on Teichmuller space- Howard Masur

Conference Title: GEAR Retreat 2012 Theme: Dynamics on Moduli Spaces (2 of 5) Title: Weil-Petersson metric on Teichmuller space Speaker: Howard Masur, Univ. of Chicago; Date and Time: Thursday August 9, 11:00 Description: The Weil-Petersson metric is an important metric on moduli space which has connections to hyperbolic geometry. I plan to survey some recent developments and perhaps indicate some open problems. Sponsor: GEAR Network Local host: UIUC Department of Mathematics Funding provided by: National Science Foundation Research Networks in Mathematical Sciences programAbstract: Prof. Howard Masur, in this GEAR Retreat 2012 session on Dynamics on Moduli Spaces, will discuss the Weil-Petersson metric, an important metric on moduli space which has connections to hyperbolic geometry.
