Abstract. One of the basic geometric objects in conformal field theory (CFT) is the the moduli space of Riemann surfaces whose n boundaries are "rigged" with analytic parametrizations. The fundamental operation is the sewing of such surfaces using the parametrizations to identify points. An alternative model is the moduli space of n-punctured Riemann surfaces together with local biholomorphic coordinates at the punctures. We refer to both of these moduli spaces as the "rigged Riemann moduli space".By generalizing to quasisymmetric boundary parametrizations, and defining rigged Teichmüller spaces in both the border and puncture pictures, we prove the following results:(1) The Teichmüller space of a genus-g surface bordered by n closed curves covers the rigged Riemann and rigged Teichmüller moduli spaces of surfaces of the same type, and induces complex manifold structures on them. (2) With this complex structure the sewing operation is holomorphic. (3) The border and puncture pictures of the rigged moduli and rigged Teichmüller spaces are biholomorphically equivalent.These results are necessary in rigorously defining CFT (in the sense of G. Segal), as well as for the construction of CFT from vertex operator algebras.
We consider bordered Riemann surfaces which are biholomorphic to compact Riemann surfaces of genus g with n regions biholomorphic to the disc removed. We define a refined Teichmüller space of such Riemann surfaces and demonstrate that in the case that 2g + 2 − n > 0, this refined Teichmüller space is a Hilbert manifold. The inclusion map from the refined Teichmüller space into the usual Teichmüller space (which is a Banach manifold) is holomorphic.We also show that the rigged moduli space of Riemann surfaces with non-overlapping holomorphic maps, appearing in conformal field theory, is a complex Hilbert manifold. This result requires an analytic reformulation of the moduli space, by enlarging the set of nonoverlapping mappings to a class of maps intermediate between analytically extendible maps and quasiconformally extendible maps. Finally we show that the rigged moduli space is the quotient of the refined Teichmüller space by a properly discontinuous group of biholomorphisms.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Let Σ be a Riemann surface with n distinguished points p 1 , . . . , pn. We prove that the set of n-tuples (φ 1 , . . . , φn) of univalent mappings φ i from the unit disc D into Σ mapping 0 to p i , with non-overlapping images and quasiconformal extensions to a neighbourhood of D, carries a natural complex Banach manifold structure. This complex structure is locally modeled on the n-fold product of a two complex-dimensional extension of the universal Teichmüller space. Our results are motivated by Teichmüller theory and two-dimensional conformal field theory.
Abstract. We show that the infinite-dimensional Teichmüller space of a Riemann surface whose boundary consists of n closed curves is a holomorphic fiber space over the Teichmüller space of n-punctured surfaces. Each fiber is a complex Banach manifold modeled on a twodimensional extension of the universal Teichmüller space. The local model of the fiber, together with the coordinates from internal Schiffer variation, provides new holomorphic local coordinates for the infinite-dimensional Teichmüller space.
Consider a multiply-connected domain Σ in the sphere bounded by n nonintersecting quasicircles. We characterize the Dirichlet space of Σ as an isomorphic image of a direct sum of Dirichlet spaces of the disk under a generalized Faber operator. This Faber operator is constructed using a jump formula for quasicircles and certain spaces of boundary values.Thereafter, we define a Grunsky operator on direct sums of Dirichlet spaces of the disk, and give a second characterization of the Dirichlet space of Σ as the graph of the generalized Grunsky operator in direct sums of the space H 1/2 (S 1 ) on the circle. This has an interpretation in terms of Fourier decompositions of Dirichlet space functions on the circle.
