Sep 13, 2016 at 5:51 comment added Ian Agol @QGravity: I suppose that's true, but those statements require proof, which I believe depends on already knowing the complex structure on Teichmüller space, so you have to be sure that your reasoning is not circular. Just knowing the formula for the Weil-Petersson metric and Wolpert's form, you can probably get an almost complex structure. But one must prove it is integrable.
Sep 13, 2016 at 5:39 comment added QGravity According to Wolpert's magic formula, the Weil-Petersson Kahler form $\omega_{\bf{WP}}$ is known in terms of Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates. This means that the formula $\omega(X,Y)\equiv g_{\bf{WP}}(I\cdot X,Y)$ in which $g_{\bf{WP}}$ is the Weil-Petersson metric in terms of Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates and $X$ and $Y$ are two vector fields, can be used to get the complex structure I. Isn't it correct?

Sep 8, 2016 at 21:45 comment added QGravity Thank you! I just have a question: The determinant of the operators on the Riemann surface is defined by the determinant of the corresponding Laplacian which in turn can be written in terms of Selberg zeta function. Is there a notion of holomorphic factorization of Selberg zeta function with respect to the complex structure that you described? In the Selberg zeta function, everything is real, so I was wondering how one can define determinant of Dirac operator directly in terms of Selberg zeta function not through its corresponding Laplacian using this holomorphic factorization?
Sep 8, 2016 at 16:47 comment added Ian Agol I think this is discussed in Chapter 6 of Hubbard's book: matrixeditions.com/TeichmullerVol1.html
