Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces and their Weil–Petersson volumes
نویسنده
چکیده
Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces may be endowed with a symplectic structure via the Weil–Petersson form. Mirzakhani proved that Weil–Petersson volumes exhibit polynomial behaviour and that their coefficients store intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves. In this survey article, we discuss these results as well as some consequences and applications.

Growth of Weil-petersson Volumes and Random Hyperbolic Surfaces of Large Genus
In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties of random hyperbolic surfaces of large genus. We describe the relationship between the behavior of lengths of simple closed geodesics on a hyperbolic surface and properties of the moduli space of such surfaces. First, we study the asymptotic behavior of Weil-Petersson volume Vg,n of the moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces of genus g with n...
متن کاملWeil-petersson Volumes and Cone Surfaces
The moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces of genus g with n geodesic boundary components are naturally symplectic manifolds. Mirzakhani proved that their volumes are polynomials in the lengths of the boundaries by computing the volumes recursively. In this paper we give new recursion relations between the volume polynomials.
متن کاملOn Weil-petersson Symmetry of Moduli Spaces of Riemann Surfaces
In this article, we give a perspective on several results, old and new, concerning geometric structures of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with respect to the L2 metric (Weil-Petersson metric) on deformations of hyperbolic metrics. In doing so, we aim to demonstrate that the Weil-Petersson metric is suited to account for the geometry of moduli spaces while the topological type, genus in parti...
متن کاملWeil-Petersson volume of moduli spaces, Mirzakhani’s recursion and matrix models
We prove that Mirzakhani’s recursions for the volumes of moduli space of Riemann surfaces are a special case of random matrix recursion relations, and therefore we confirm again that Kontsevich’s integral is a generating function for those volumes. As an application, we propose a formula for the Weil-Petersson volume Vol(Mg,0).
متن کاملWeil-petersson Volumes and Intersection Theory on the Moduli Space of Curves
In this paper, we establish a relationship between the Weil-Petersson volume Vg,n(b) of the moduli space Mg,n(b) of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces with geodesic boundary components of lengths b1, . . . , bn, and the intersection numbers of tautological classes on the moduli space Mg,n of stable curves. As a result, by using the recursive formula for Vg,n(b) obtained in [22], we derive a new proof ...
