Lengths of closed geodesics on random surfaces of large genus

Geometric Topology 2021-03-18 v2 Probability

Abstract

We prove Poisson approximation results for the bottom part of the length spectrum of a random closed hyperbolic surface of large genus. Here, a random hyperbolic surface is a surface picked at random using the Weil-Petersson volume form on the corresponding moduli space. As an application of our result, we compute the large genus limit of the expected systole.
