New degeneration phenomenon for infinite-type Riemann surfaces

Since the Teichm\"uller space of a surface R is a deformation space of complex structures defined on R, its Bers boundary describes the degeneration of complex structures in a certain sense. In this paper, constructing a concrete example, we prove that if S is a Riemann surface of infinite type, there exists a Riemann surface with the marking, which is homeomorphic to the surface R in the Bers boundary. We also show that many such degenerations exist in the Bers boundary.
