Teichmüller geodesics that do not have a limit in \(\mathcal PMF\). (English) Zbl 1189.30086

Summary: We construct a Teichmüller geodesic which does not have a limit on the Thurston boundary of the Teichmüller space. We also show that for this construction the limit set is contained in a one-dimensional simplex in \(\mathcal{PMF}\).
