Good geometry on the curve moduli (Q935918)

In this article the authors study some metrics on the moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. (The authors claim that the results can be trivially generalized to the case of analytically finite Riemann surfaces.) The metrics under consideration are, for instance, the one induced by the hyperbolic metric, the Weil-Petersson metric and the Ricci metric (together with some perturbations of them). Vanishing results of certain cohomology groups and properties about curvature are obtained.
