Abstract
Let be the Weil-Petersson volume of the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces of genus g with m geodesic boundary components of length and cone points of angle . By using the generalized McShane's identities, we show that is a polynomial of . And we obtain a recursion formula for , which is a generalization of Mirzakhani's result.
