Space of chord-arc curves and BMO/VMO Teichmüller space

Abstrakti

This paper focuses on the structure of the subspace \(T_c\) of the BMO Teichmüller space \(T_b\) corresponding to chord-arc curves, which contains the VMO Teichmüller space \(T_v\). We prove that \(T_c\) is not a subgroup with respect to the group structure of \(T_b\), but it is preserved under the inverse operation and the left and the right translations by any element of \(T_v\). Moreover, we show that \(T_b\) has a fiber structure induced by \(T_v\), and the complex structure of \(T_b\) can be projected down to the quotient space \(T_v \backslash T_b\). Then, we see that \(T_c\) consists of fibers of this projection, and its quotient space also has the induced complex structure.
