We give a description of the completion of the manifold of all smooth Riemannian metrics on a fixed smooth, closed, finite-dimensional, orientable manifold with respect to a natural metric called the L metric. The primary motivation for studying this problem comes from Teichmuller theory, where similar considerations lead to a completion of the well-known Weil-Petersson metric. We give an application of the main theorem to the completions of Teichmuller space with respect to a class of metrics that generalize the Weil-Petersson metric.
