Abstract

In this paper, we investigate basic geometric quantities of a random hyperbolic surface of genus gg with respect to the Weil-Petersson measure on the moduli space Mg\mathcal{M}_g. We show that as gg goes to infinity, a generic surface XMgX\in \mathcal{M}_g satisfies asymptotically: (1) the separating systole of XX is about 2logg2\log g; (2) there is a half-collar of width about logg2\frac{\log g}{2} around a separating systolic curve of XX; (3) the length of shortest separating closed multi-geodesics of XX is about 2logg2\log g. As applications, we also discuss the asymptotic behavior of the extremal separating systole, the non-simple systole and the expectation value of lengths of shortest separating closed multi-geodesics as gg goes to infinity.
