In this work, we investigate the mid-range behavior of geometry along a grafting ray in Teichm\"{u}ller space. The main technique is to describe the hyperbolic metric $\sigma_{t}$ at a point along the grafting ray in terms of a conformal factor $g_{t}$ times the Thurston (grafted) metric and study solutions to the linearized Liouville equation. We give a formula that describes, at any point on a grafting ray, the change in length of a sum of distinguished curves in terms of the hyperbolic geometry at the point. We then make precise the idea that once the length of the grafting locus is small, local behavior of the geometry for grafting on a general manifold is like that of grafting on a cylinder. Finally, we prove that the sum of lengths of is eventually monotone decreasing along grafting rays.

In this thesis, we investigate the period mapping of Teichmuller space into the Siegel upper half space. This is constructed from integrals of a basis of holomorphic one-forms along closed curves of a basis of the Riemann surface.  We consider the Riemann, Teichmuller and Torelli moduli spaces and their representation in the Siegel upper half space, and its relation to orbits of a symplectic and a set of positive polarizations of a vector space of dimension equal to the genus of the surface. / October 2016
