Potentials and Chern forms for Weil-Petersson and Takhtajan-Zograf metrics on moduli spaces

Abstract: For the TZ metric on the moduli space

m a t h s c r M_{0, n}

of

n

-pointed rational curves, we construct a K"ahler potential in terms of the Fourier coefficients of the Klein's Hauptmodul. We define the space

m a t h f r a k S_{g, n}

as holomorphic fibration

m a t h f r a k S_{g, n} i g h t a r r o w m a t h f r a k S_{g}

over the Schottky space

m a t h f r a k S_{g}

of compact Riemann surfaces of genus

g

, where the fibers are configuration spaces of

n

points. For the tautological line bundles

m a t h s c r L_{i}

over

m a t h f r a k S_{g, n}

we define Hermitian metrics

h_{i}

in terms of Fourier coefficients of a covering map

J

of the Schottky domain. We define the regularized classical Liouville action

S

and show that

e x p S / p i

is a Hermitian metric in the line bundle

m a t h s c r L = o t i m e s_{i = 1}^{n} m a t h s c r L_{i}

over

m a t h f r a k S_{g, n}

. We explicitly compute the Chern forms of these Hermitian line bundles

c_{1}(mathscr{L}_{i},h_{i})=frac{4}{3}omega_{mathrm{TZ},i},quad c_{1}(mathscr{L},exp{S/pi})=frac{1}{pi^{2}}omega_{mathrm{WP}}.

We prove that a smooth real-valued function

- m a t h s c r S = - S + p i s u m_{i = 1}^{n} l o g h_{i}

on

m a t h f r a k S_{g, n}

, a potential for this special difference of WP and TZ metrics, coincides with the renormalized hyperbolic volume of a corresponding Schottky

3

-manifold. We extend these results to the quasi-Fuchsian groups of type

(g, n)

.
