A theorem on the outradii of Teichmüller spaces (Q1100314)

Let \(\Gamma\) be a Fuchsian group acting on the upper halfplane U, T(\(\Gamma)\) the corresponding Teichmüller space, o(\(\Gamma)\) is outradius and \(Q_ u(\Gamma)\) the set of all quasiconformal automorphisms of U compatible with \(\Gamma\). Nehari proved \(o(\Gamma)\leq 6\). Sekigawa showed \(o(\Gamma)<6\) for all finitely generated Fuchsian groups \(\Gamma\) of the first kind and (together with Yamamoto) \(o(\Gamma)=6\) for groups of the second kind. In this paper it is shown, that \(\sup \{o(w\circ \Gamma \circ w^{-1})\); \(w\in Q_ u(\Gamma)\}=6\) if \(0<\dim T(\Gamma)\).
