Simultaneous uniformization theorem

Summary

In mathematics, the simultaneous uniformization theorem, proved by Bers (1960), states that it is possible to simultaneously uniformize two different Riemann surfaces of the same genus using a quasi-Fuchsian group of the first kind.

The quasi-Fuchsian group is essentially uniquely determined by the two Riemann surfaces, so the space of marked quasi-Fuchsian group of the first kind of some fixed genus g can be identified with the product of two copies of Teichmüller space of the same genus.
