Complex structures on a closed surface of genus at least 2 are in one-to-one correspondence with hyperbolic metrics, so that there is a single space, Teichmüller space, parametrising all possible complex and hyperbolic structures on a given surface (up to isotopy). We will explore how complex and hyperbolic geometry interact in Teichmüller space.
