Zusammenfassung:This paper is about surfaces of infinite topological type. Unlike the case of surfaces of finite type, there are several deformation spaces associated with a surface S of infinite topological type. Such spaces depend on the choice of a basepoint (that is, the choice of a fixed conformal structure or hyperbolic structure on S) and they also depend on the choice of a distance on the set of equivalence classes of marked hyperbolic structures. We address the question of the comparison between two deformation spaces, namely, the quasiconformal Teichmüller space and the length-spectrum Teichmüller space. There is a natural inclusion map of the quasiconformal space into the length-spectrum space, which is not always surjective. We work under the hypothesis that the basepoint (a hyperbolic surface) satisfies a condition we call “upper-boundedness”. This means that this surface admits a pants decomposition defined by curves whose lengths are bounded above.
