Universal commensurability augmented Teichm\"uller space and moduli space

Abstract

It is known that every finitely unbranched covering $\alpha:\widetilde{S}_{g(\alpha)}\rightarrow S$ of a compact Riemann surface $S$ with genus $g\geq2$ induces an isometric embedding $\Gamma_{\alpha}$ from the Teichm\"uller space $T(S)$ to the Teich\"uller space $T(\widetilde{S}_{g(\alpha)})$. Actually, it has been showed that the isometric embedding $\Gamma_{\alpha}$ can be extended isometrically to the augmented Teichm\"{u}ller space $\widehat{T}(S)$ of $T(S)$. Using this result, we construct a directed limit $\widehat{T}_{\infty}(S)$ of augmented Teichm\"uller spaces, where the index runs over all finitely unbranched coverings of $S$. Then, we show that the action of the universal commensurability modular group $Mod_{\infty}(S)$ can extend isometrically on $\widehat{T}_{\infty}(S)$. Furthermore, for any $X_{\infty}\in T_{\infty}(S)$, its orbit of the action of the universal commensurability modular group $Mod_{\infty}(S)$ on the universal commensurability augmented Teichm\"uller space $\widehat{T}_{\infty}(S)$ is dense. Finally, we also construct a directed limit $\widehat{M}_{\infty}(S)$ of augmented moduli spaces by characteristic towers and show that the subgroup $Caut(\pi_{1}(S))$ of $Mod_{\infty}(S)$ acts on $\widehat{T}_{\infty}(S)$ to produce $\widehat{M}_{\infty}(S)$ as the quotient.
