Colloquium




Abstract
 

The moduli space of Riemann surfaces carries a natural Teichmuller metric. Amazingly, there is an explicit description of the geodesics for this metric. In this talk, we will describe some subvarieties of moduli space which are totally geodesic for the Teichmuller metric, and we will discuss some of the remarkable properties enjoyed by these subvarieties.
