Function Model of the Teichmuller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann Surface

We introduce a function model for the Teichmuller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann surface. Then we introduce a new metric by using the maximum norm on the function space on the Teichmuller space. We prove that the identity map from the Teichmuller space equipped with the usual Teichmuller metric to the Teichmuller space equipped with this new metric is uniformly continuous. Furthermore, we also prove that the inverse of the identity, that is, the identity map from the Teichmuller space equipped with this new metric to the Teichmuller space equipped with the usual Teichmuller metric, is continuous. Therefore, the topology induced by the new metric is just the same as the topology induced by the usual Teichmuller metric on the Teichmuller space. We give a remark about the pressure metric and the Weil-Petersson metric.
