In mathematics, the simultaneous uniformization theorem, proved by , states that it is possible to simultaneously
uniformize two different
Riemann surface
In mathematics, particularly in complex analysis, a Riemann surface is a connected one-dimensional complex manifold. These surfaces were first studied by and are named after Bernhard Riemann. Riemann surfaces can be thought of as deformed vers ...

Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In bino ...

The quasi-Fuchsian group is essentially uniquely determined by the two Riemann surfaces, so the space of marked quasi-Fuchsian group of the first kind of some fixed genus ''g'' can be identified with the product of two copies of
Teichmüller space
In mathematics, the Teichmüller space T(S) of a (real) topological (or differential) surface S is a space that parametrizes complex structures on S up to the action of homeomorphisms that are isotopic to the identity homeomorphism. Teichmülle ...
