Construction of geodesics on Teichm\"uller spaces of Riemann surfaces with $\mathbb Z$ action

Abstract

Teichm\"uller space $\mathrm{Teich}(R)$ of a Riemann surface $R$ is a deformation space of $R$. In this paper, we prove a sufficient condition for extremality of the Beltrami coefficients when $R$ has the $\mathbb Z$ action. As an application, we discuss the construction of geodesics. Earle-Kra-Krushka\'l proved that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the geodesics connecting $[0]$ and $[\mu]$ to be unique are $\| \mu_0 \|_{\infty} = | \mu_0 | ( z )$ (a.e.$z$) and ``unique extremality''. As a byproduct of our results, we show that we cannot exclude ``unique extremality''.To show the above claim, we construct a point $[\mu_0]$ in $\mathrm{Teich}(\mathbb C \setminus \mathbb Z)$, satisfying $\| \mu_0 \|_{\infty} = | \mu_0 | ( z )$ (a.e.$z$) and there exists a family of geodesics $\{ \gamma_\lambda \} _{\lambda \in D}$ connecting $[0]$ and $[\mu_0]$ with complex analytic parameter, where $D$ is an open set in $l^{\infty}$.
