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.
