We prove that for each Riemann surface of finite analytic type (p, n) with p ≥ 2, there exist uncountably many Teichmüller disks Δ in the Teichmüller space T(S), where S = - {a point a}, with these properties: (1) the natural projection j: T(S) → T() defined by forgetting a induces an isometric embedding of each Δ into T(); and (2) the stabilizer of each Teichmüller disk Δ in the a-pointed mapping class group of S is trivial.
