Abstract

We depict harmonic map ray structures on Teichmüller space as a geometric transition between Teichmüller ray structures and Thurston geodesic ray structures

As an application, while there may be many Thurston metric geodesics between a pair of points in Teichmüller space, we find that by imposing an additional energy minimization constraint on the geodesics, thought of as limits of harmonic map rays, we select a unique Thurston geodesic through those points. There are applications to the envelopes of Thurston geodesics between a pair of points.
