Abstract: We study the class of holomorphic and isometric submersions between finite-type Teichm"uller spaces. We prove that, with potential exceptions coming from low-genus phenomena, any such map is a forgetful map mathcalTg,nightarrowmathcalTg,m obtained by filling in punctures. This generalizes a classical result of Royden and Earle-Kra asserting that biholomorphisms between finite-type Teichm"uller spaces arise from mapping classes. As a key step in the argument, we prove that any mathbbC-linear embedding Q(X)hookrightarrowQ(Y) between spaces of integrable quadratic differentials is, up to scale, pull-back by a holomorphic map. We accomplish this step by adapting methods developed by Markovic to study isometries of infinite-type Teichm"uller spaces.
