Bicombing the mapping class group and Teichmüller space via stable cubical intervals
Matthew Gentry Durham
In this mostly expository article, we provide a new account of our proof with Minsky and Sisto that mapping class groups and Teichmüller spaces admit bicombings. More generally, w…

Atypical generic directions in Teichmüller space
Matthew Gentry Durham, Chenxi Wu, Kejia Zhu
Motivated by geometrically capturing generic directions in Teichmüller space -- that is, tracking rays for random walks of the mapping class group -- we use work of Chaika--Masur-…
