We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Infinite distance components of the boundary of moduli spaces of conformal structures
Lutz Habermann
Abstract
We continue the investigation of the L2-geometry of moduli spaces of conformal structures, where the L2-metric is induced from the canonical metrics for conformal structures that supports a positive scalar curvature metric introduced in previous papers.
