Estimates of Weil-petersson Volumes via Effective Divisors

چکیده
The Mumford class κ1 on Mg,0 was shown to be proportional to the cohomology class [ωWP ] of the Weil-Petersson form by Wolpert in [WO]. Furthermore he showed that the restriction of this class to any component of the compactyfying divisor coincides with the corresponding Weil-Petersson class. Arbarello and Cornalba introduced classes κ1 on Mg,n, proved a similar restriction property for these and concluded proportionality on all Mg,n [A-C 2]. So Weil-Petersson volumes vol(Mg,n) are up to a normalizing factor the intersection numbers

Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces and their Weil–Petersson volumes
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.
متن کاملRecursion Formulae of Higher Weil-petersson Volumes
Abstract. In this paper we study effective recursion formulae for computing intersection numbers of mixed ψ and κ classes on moduli spaces of curves. By using the celebrated WittenKontsevich theorem, we generalize Mulase-Safnuk form of Mirzakhani’s recursion and prove a recursion formula of higher Weil-Petersson volumes. We also present recursion formulae to compute intersection pairings in the...
متن کاملA Simple Proof of Mirzakhani’s Recursion Formula of Weil-petersson Volumes
In this paper, we give a simple proof of Mirzakhani's recursion formula of Weil-Petersson volumes of moduli spaces of curves using the Witten-Kontsevich theorem. We also briefly describe a very general recursive phenomenon in the intersection theory of moduli spaces of curves. In particular, we present several new recursion formulas for higher degree κ classes.
متن کاملWeil-Petersson Volumes of the Moduli Spaces of CY Manifolds
In this paper it is proved that the volumes of the moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds with respect to Weil-Petersson metrics are rational numbers. Mumford introduce the notion of a good metric on vector bundle over a quasi-projective variety in [10]. He proved that the Chern forms of good metrics define classes of cohomology with integer coefficients on the compactified quasi-proje...
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).
