The mapping class group $\\Gamma$ of $M$ is the group of connected components of the diffeomorphism group. The moduli problems can be understood as statements about the $\\Gamma$-action on $Teich$. I will describe the mapping class group and the Teichmuller space for a hyperkahler manifold. It turns out that this action is ergodic. We use the ergodicity to show that a hyperkahler manifold is never Kobayashi hyperbolic. This is my ICM submission, with review of some of my work on Teichmuller spaces and moduli; proofs are sketched, new observations and some open problems added.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-04-15T08:47:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "32G13", "53C26" ], "keywords": [ "teichmuller space", "global torelli theorem", "ergodic theory", "mapping class group", "hyperkahler manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1404.3847V" } } }
