Abstract

As is well-known, the Weil–Petersson metric ωWP on the moduli space ℳg has negative Ricci curvature. Hence, its negative first Chern form defines the so-called Ricci metric ωτ. Their combination [Formula: see text], C > 0, introduced by Liu–Sun–Yau, is called the perturbed Ricci metric. It is a complete Kähler metric with finite volume. Furthermore, it has bounded geometry. In this paper, we investigate the finiteness of this new metric from another point of view. More precisely, we will prove in the thick part of ℳg, the holomorphic bisectional curvature of [Formula: see text] is bounded by a constant depending only on the thick constant and C0 when C ≥ (3g - 3)C0, but not on the genus g.
