Dynamical aspects of teichmüller theory : SL(2,R)-action on moduli spaces of flat surfaces / Carlos Matheus Silva Santos.

This book is a remarkable contribution to the literature on dynamical systems and geometry. It consists of a selection of work in current research on Teichmüller dynamics, a field that has continued to develop rapidly in the past decades. After a comprehensive introduction, the author investigates t...
