We also consider the infimum of the asymptotic distance in shifting base points of the rays along the geodesics. We show that the infimum is represented by two quantities. One is the detour metric between the end points of the rays on the Gardiner-Masur boundary of the Teichm\\\"uller space, and the other is the Teichm\\\"uller distance between the end points of the rays on the augmented Teichm\\\"uller space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-02-14T23:21:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "32G15", "30F60" ], "keywords": [ "asymptotic behavior", "teichmüller rays", "end points", "geodesic rays", "jenkins-strebel differentials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1402.3622A" } } }
