A Model of the Teichmüller space of genus-zero bordered surfaces by period maps (1710.06960v1)

Abstract: We consider Riemann surfaces $\Sigma$ with $n$ borders homeomorphic to $\mathbb{S}^1$ and no handles. Using generalized Grunsky operators, we define a period mapping from the infinite-dimensional Teichm\"uller space of surfaces of this type into the unit ball in the linear space of operators on an $n$-fold direct sum of Bergman spaces of the disk. We show that this period mapping is holomorphic and injective.
