New Kähler metric on quasifuchsian space and its curvature properties (1902.04523v1)
Published 12 Feb 2019 in math.GT
Abstract: Let $QF(S)$ be the quasifuchsian space of a closed surface $S$ of genus $g\geq 2$. We construct a new mapping class group invariant K\"ahler metric on $QF(S)$. It is an extension of the Weil-Petersson metric onthe Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal T(S)\subset QF(S)$. We also calculate its curvature and prove some negativity for the curvature along the tautological directions.
