The Geometry of the Weil-Petersson Metric in Complex Dynamics

In this work, we study an analogue of the Weil-Petersson metric on the space of Blaschke products of degree 2 proposed by McMullen. We show that the Weil-Petersson metric is incomplete and study its metric completion. Our work parallels known results for the Teichmuller space of a punctured torus....
