Teichmueller space via Kuranishi families
arXiv:math/0702437 · doi:10.2422/2036-2145.2009.1.05
Abstract
We construct Teichmueller space by patching together Kuranishi families. We also discuss the basic properties of Teichmueller space, and in particular show that our construction leads to simplifications in the proof of Teichmueller's theorem asserting that the genus g Teichmueller space is homeomorphic to a (6g-6)-dimensional ball.
