We construct geometrically a homeomorphism between the moduli space of polynomial quadratic differentials on the complex plane and light-like polygons in the 2-dimensional Einstein Universe. As an application, we find a class of minimal Lagrangian maps between ideal polygons in the hyperbolic plane.
In this paper we combine our recent work on regular globally hyperbolic maximal anti-de Sitter structures with the classical theory of globally hyperbolic maximal Cauchy-compact anti-de Sitter manifolds in order to define an augmented moduli space. Moreover, we introduce a coordinate system in this space that resembles the complex Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates for hyperbolic quasi-Fuchsian manifolds.
Let $Σ$ be a connected, oriented surface with punctures and negative Euler characteristic. We introduce wild globally hyperbolic anti-de Sitter structures on $Σ\times \mathbb{R}$ and provide two parameterisations of their deformation space: as a quotient of the product of two copies of the Teichmüller space of crowned hyperbolic surfaces and as the bundle over the Teichmüller space of $Σ$ of meromorphic quadratic differentials with poles of order at least $3$ at the punctures.
Let $S$ be a closed oriented surface of genus at least $2$. Using the parameterisation of the deformation space of globally hyperbolic maximal anti-de Sitter structures on $S \times \mathbb{R}$ by the cotangent bundle over the Teichmüller space of $S$, we study the behaviour of these geometric structures along pinching sequences. We show, in particular, that the regular globally hyperbolic anti-de Sitter structures introduced in arXiv:1806.08176 naturally appear as limiting points.
Let $Σ$ be a connected, oriented surface with punctures and negative Euler characteristic. We introduce regular globally hyperbolic anti-de Sitter structures on $Σ\times \mathbb{R}$ and provide two parameterisations of their deformation space: as an enhanced product of two copies of the Fricke space of $Σ$ and as the bundle over the Teichmüller space of $Σ$ whose fibre consists of meromorphic quadratic differentials with poles of order at most $2$ at the punctures.
We prove that given two metrics $g_{+}$ and $g_{-}$ with curvature $κ<-1$ on a closed, oriented surface $S$ of genus $τ\geq 2$, there exists an $AdS$ manifold $N$ with smooth, space-like, strictly convex boundary such that the induced metrics on the two connected components of $\partial N$ are equal to $g_{+}$ and $g_{-}$. Using the duality between convex space-like surfaces in $AdS_{3}$, we obtain an equivalent result about the prescription of the third fundamental form.
We study the volume of maximal globally hyperbolic Anti-de Sitter manifolds containing a closed orientable Cauchy surface $S$, in relation to some geometric invariants depending only on the two points in Teichmüller space of $S$ provided by Mess' parameterization - namely on two isotopy classes of hyperbolic metrics $h$ and $h'$ on $S$. The main result of the paper is that the volume coarsely behaves like the minima of the $L^1$-energy of maps from $(S,h)$ to $(S,h')$. The study of $L^p$-type energies had been suggested by Thurston, in contrast with the well-studied Lipschitz distance. A corollary of our result shows that the volume of maximal globally hyperbolic Anti-de Sitter manifolds is bounded from above by the exponential of (any of the two) Thurston's Lipschitz asymmetric distances, up to some explicit constants. Although there is no such bound from below, we provide examples in which this behavior is actually realized. We prove instead that the volume is bounded from below by the exponential of the Weil-Petersson distance. The proof of the main result uses more precise estimates on the behavior of the volume, which is proved to be coarsely equivalent to the length of the (left or right) measured geodesic lamination of earthquake from $(S,h)$ to $(S,h')$, and to the minima of the holomorphic 1-energy.
Let $M$ be a globally hyperbolic maximal compact $3$-dimensional spacetime locally modelled on Minkowski, anti-de Sitter or de Sitter space. It is well known that $M$ admits a unique foliation by constant mean curvature surfaces. In this paper we extend this result to singular spacetimes with particles (cone singularities of angles less than $π$ along time-like geodesics).
We prove that, given an acausal curve $Γ$ in the boundary at infinity of $AdS_{3}$ which is the graph of a quasi-symmetric homeomorphism $ϕ$, there exists a unique foliation of its domain of dependence $D(Γ)$ by constant mean curvature surfaces with bounded second fundamental form. Moreover, these surfaces provide a family of quasi-conformal extensions of $ϕ$.
