A family of coordinates $psi_h$ for the Teichmuller space of a compact surface with boundary was introduced in cite{l2}. In the work cite{m1}, Mondello showed that the coordinate $psi_0$ can be used to produce a natural cell decomposition of the Teichmuller space invariant under the action of the mapping class group. In this paper, we show that the similar result also works for all other coordinate $psi_h$ for any $h geq 0$.
Let $X_{0}$ be a complete hyperbolic surface of infinite type with geodesic boundary which admits a countable pair of pants decomposition. As an application of the Basmajian identity for complete bordered hyperbolic surfaces of infinite type with limit sets of 1-dimensional measure zero, we define an asymmetric metric (which is called arc metric) on the quasiconformal Teichmuller space $mathcal{T}(X_{0})$ provided that $X_{0}$ satisfies a geometric condition. Furthermore, we construct several examples of hyperbolic surfaces of infinite type satisfying the geometric condition and discuss the relation between the Shigas condition and the geometric condition.
We prove that the length spectrum metric and the arc-length spectrum metric are almost-isometric on the $epsilon_0$-relative part of Teichmuller spaces of surfaces with boundary.
We prove that the Teichmuller space of surfaces with given boundary lengths equipped with the arc metric (resp. the Teichmuller metric) is almost isometric to the Teichmuller space of punctured surfaces equipped with the Thurston metric (resp. the Teichmuller metric).
We investigate the translation lengths of group elements that arise in random walks on weakly hyperbolic groups. In particular, without any moment condition, we prove that non-elementary random walks exhibit at least linear growth of translation lengths. As a corollary, almost every random walk on mapping class groups eventually becomes pseudo-Anosov and almost every random walk on $mathrm{Out}(F_n)$ eventually becomes fully irreducible. If the underlying measure further has finite first moment, then the growth rate of translation lengths is equal to the drift, the escape rate of the random walk. We then apply our technique to investigate the random walks induced by the action of mapping class groups on Teichmuller spaces. In particular, we prove the spectral theorem under finite first moment condition, generalizing a result of Dahmani and Horbez.
We study the convergence of earthquake paths and horocycle paths in the Gardiner-Masur compactification of Teichmuller space. We show that an earthquake path directed by a uniquely ergodic or simple closed measured geodesic lamination converges to the Gardiner-Masur boundary. Using the embedding of flat metrics into the space of geodesic currents, we prove that a horocycle path in Teichmuller space, induced by a quadratic differential whose vertical measured foliation is unique ergodic, converges to the Gardiner-Masur boundary and to the Thurston boundary.
