Description
Abstract: The Weil-Petersson metric is a negatively curved, incomplete Riemannian metric on the Teichmuller space with connections to hyperbolic geometry. In this talk we present some results about the behavior of geodesics of the metric and its relation to subsurface coefficients in analogy with continued fraction expansions.
