Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the non-simple systole, which is the length of a shortest non-simple closed geodesic, on a random closed hyperbolic surface on the moduli space Mg\mathcal{M}_g of Riemann surfaces of genus gg endowed with the Weil-Petersson measure. We show that as the genus gg goes to infinity, the non-simple systole of a generic hyperbolic surface in Mg\mathcal{M}_g behaves exactly like logg\log g.
