Teichm\"{u}ller isometries induced by certain irreducible periodic mapping classes

Let $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ be the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $\mathrm{Teich}(S_g)$ be the Teichm\"{u}ller space of $S_g$. In this paper, we provide an algorithm for determining the isometries induced in $\mathrm{Teich}(S_g)$ by certain irreducible periodic mapping classes in Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates. As a demonstration of this method, we provide a description of the isometry induced by periodic mapping class of order $4g+2$ and also derive some of its geometric properties.

Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates of the branch loci of cyclic actions

Let $S_g$ be a closed, connected, and oriented smooth surface of genus $g\geq 2$. Let the mapping class group of $S_g$ be denoted by $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ and the Teichm\"{u}ller space of $S_g$ by $\mathrm{Teich}(S_g)$. It is known that $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ acts by isometries on $\mathrm{Teich}(S_g)$ with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric. In this paper, we develop algorithms to describe the Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates of fixed points of the actions of certain finite cyclic subgroups of $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ on $\mathrm{Teich}(S_g)$. As applications of these algorithms, we compute the Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates of the fixed points of three cyclic subgroups of orders $10$, $8$, and $4$, in $\mathrm{Mod}(S_2)$.
