Geometric Topology 2015-09-24 v1 Algebraic Geometry Complex Variables

Abstract

We give an overview of the proof for Mirzakhani's volume recursion for the Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of genus gg hyperbolic surfaces with nn labeled geodesic boundary components, and her application of this recursion to Witten's conjecture and the study of simple geodesic length spectrum growth rates.
