The primary motivation for studying this problem comes from Teichmueller theory, where similar considerations lead to a completion of the well-known Weil-Petersson metric. We give an application of the main theorem to the completions of Teichmueller space with respect to a class of metrics that generalize the Weil-Petersson metric.43 pagesDifferential Geometry58D17 (Primary) 58B20 (Secondary)text
