Regge %J Mathematics %D 2005 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/s11005-006-0112-4 %X Using the Penner--Fock parameterization for Teichmuller spaces of Riemann surfaces with holes, we construct the string-like free-field representation of the Poisson and quantum algebras of geodesic functions in the continuous-genus limit. The mapping class group acts naturally in the obtained representation. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0510119v1
