We describe the first and second derivatives of energy function from a Riemannian manifold into hyperbolic surface depending on the hyperbolic structure, and show plurisubharmonicity on Teichmuller space. We also show the convexity of geodesic length function along Weil-Petersson geodesics. This is a joint work with Zhang and Wan.
