Random surfaces with large systoles

Abstract

We present two constructions, both inspired by ideas from graph theory, of sequences random surfaces of growing area, whose systoles grow logarithmically as a function of their area. This also allows us to prove a new lower bound on the maximal systole of a closed orientable hyperbolic surface of a given genus.
