Review text

The author discusses the geometry of elements of the Teichmüller group for Riemann surfaces of signature \((g,p)\). These can be classified as elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic and pseudo-hyperbolic. She gives an elegant proof of an assertion of Bers that an invariant line of a hyperbolic element is unique. She also gives a new proof of an unpublished theorem of McCarthy which asserts that if \(\gamma_ 1\) is hyperbolic and if \(\gamma_ 2\) normalizes the cyclic group generated by \(\gamma_ 1\) then \(\gamma_ 2\gamma_ 1\gamma_ 2^{-1}=\gamma_ 1^{\pm1}\) and describes the possible \(\gamma_ 2\) more precisely. Finally she gives some further applications of the same techniques.
