In mathematics, the simultaneous uniformization theorem, proved by , states that it is possible to simultaneously uniformize two different Riemann surface

Riemann surface

In mathematics, particularly in complex analysis, a Riemann surface, first studied by and named after Bernhard Riemann, is a one-dimensional complex manifold. Riemann surfaces can be thought of as "deformed versions" of the complex plane: locally near every point they look like patches of the...

Genus (mathematics)

In mathematics, genus has a few different, but closely related, meanings:-Orientable surface:The genus of a connected, orientable surface is an integer representing the maximum number of cuttings along non-intersecting closed simple curves without rendering the resultant manifold disconnected. It...

Quasi-Fuchsian group

In the mathematical theory of Kleinian groups, a quasi-Fuchsian group is a Kleinian group whose limit set is contained in an invariant Jordan curve. If the limit set is equal to the Jordan curve the quasi-Fuchsian group is said to be of type one, and otherwise it is said to be of type two...

The quasi-Fuchsian group is essentially uniquely determined by the two Riemann surfaces, so the space of marked quasi-Fuchsian group of the first kind of some fixed genus g can be identified with the product of two copies of Teichmüller space

Teichmüller space

In mathematics, the Teichmüller space TX of a topological surface X, is a space that parameterizes complex structures on X up to the action of homeomorphisms that are isotopic to the identity homeomorphism...
