Abstract

Let $\ts$ be the Teichmuller space of a hyperbolic Riemann surface $S$. Suppose $\mu$ is an extremal Beltrami differential at a given point $\tau$ of $\ts$ and $\{\phi_n\}$ is a Hamilton sequence for $\mu$. It is an open problem whether the sequence $\{\phi_n\}$ is always a Hamilton sequence for all extremal differentials in $\tau$. In 1999, Wu gave a positive answer to this problem in the case when $S$ is the unit disk. In this paper, we show that it is also true when $S$ is a doubly-connected domain. 10.1017/S0004972713000191
