Geometry of the complex of curves I: Hyperbolicity
Howard Masur,Yair N. Minsky +1 more
TL;DR: The complex of curves on a surface as mentioned in this paper is a simplicial complex whose vertices are homotopy classes of simple closed curves, and simplices are sets of classes which can be realized disjointly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometry of the complex of curves ii: hierarchical structure
Howard Masur,Yair N. Minsky +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the theory of hyperbolic spaces and groups to algorithmic questions for the Mapping Class Group and geometric properties of Kleinian representations of Harvey's Complex of Curves.

Quadratic differentials and foliations
John H. Hubbard,Howard Masur +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the space of measured foliations with the quadratic forms on a fixed Riemann surface is homeomorphic to a sphere, and that the existence of projective classes of foliations is also homeomorphic.
