Title: Pullback of symplectic forms to the space of circle patterns

Authors: Wai Yeung Lam
Abstract: We consider circle patterns on surfaces with complex projective structures. We investigate two symplectic forms pulled back to the deformation space of circle patterns. The first one is Goldman's symplectic form on the space of complex projective structures on closed surfaces. The other is the Weil-Petersson symplectic form on the Teichm\"uller space of punctured surfaces. We show that their pullbacks to the space of circle patterns coincide. It is applied to prove the smoothness of the deformation space, which is an essential step to the conjecture that the space of circle patterns is homeomorphic to the Teichm\"uller space of the closed surface. We further conjecture that the pullback of the symplectic forms is non-degenerate and defines a symplectic structure on the space of circle patterns.
