In this revision, we correct typos and some errors. OLD COMMENT: In the second version, I correct typos and add a disk-convexity result and an alternative approach to Gardiner's formulaIn In this version, I add explanations

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the extremal length functions on Teichmüller space are log-plurisubharmonic. As a corollary, we obtain an alternative proof of L.Liu and W.Su's results on the plurisubharmonicity of extremal length functions. We also obtain alternative proofs of S.Krushkal's results that a function defined by the Teichmüller distance from a reference point is plurisubharmonic, and the Teichmüller space is hyperconvex. To show the log-plurisubharmonicity, we give an explicit formula of the Levi form of the extremal length functions in generic case.
