Abstract

We prove that the pressure metric on the Teichmüller space of a bordered surface is incomplete and that a completion can be given by the moduli space of metrics on a graph (dual to a special ideal triangulation of the same bordered surface) equipped with pressure metric. In contrast to the closed surface case, we obtain as a corollary that the pressure metric is not bi-Lipschitz to the Weil–Petersson metric.
