Abstract: Abstract Quadratic differentials have become an important object in geometric function theory. They are connected with extremal quasiconformal mappings — with Teichmüller mappings [19], but also with the general problem of extremal qc. mappings [2], [10] -, with extremal problems for schlicht functions, like coefficient problems [18], [12], [6], with moduli problems [17], [13], extremal length [5] and even with measured foliations [4]. But they are not just tools: There is a geometric theory of quadratic differentials which has its own right of existence [6], [12, [16]. It is the purpose of this article to give a survey of the basic aspects of this theory as it has been developped by Teichmüller and numerous other authors in the years after their first appearance in Teichmüller’s famous mapping theorem.
