A non-Archimedean analogue of Teichmüller space and its tropicalization Ulirsch, Martin In this article we use techniques from tropical and logarithmic geometry to construct a non-Archimedean analogue of Teichmüller space $\overline{\mathcal{T}}_g$ whose points are pairs consisting of a stable projective curve over a non-Archimedean field and a Teichmüller marking of the topological fundamental group of its Berkovich analytification. This construction is closely related to and inspired by the classical construction of a non-Archimedean Schottky space for Mumford curves by Gerritzen and Herrlich. We argue that the skeleton of non-Archimedean Teichmüller space is precisely the tropical Teichmüller space introduced by Chan-Melo-Viviani as a simplicial completion of Culler-Vogtmann Outer space. As a consequence, Outer space turns out to be a strong deformation retract of the locus of smooth Mumford curves in $\overline{\mathcal{T}}_g$. 2020 info:eu-repo/semantics/preprint doc-type:preprint text http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_816b https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/record/66321 Ulirsch M.
