On compact Riemann surfaces, the Laplacian has a discrete, non-negative spectrum of eigenvalues of finite multiplicity. The spectrum is intrinsically linked to the geometry of the surface. In this work, we consider surfaces of constant…

Let $X$ be a two-dimensional smooth manifold with boundary $S^{1}$ and $Y=[1,\infty)\times S^{1}$. We consider a family of complete surfaces arising by endowing $X\cup_{S^{1}}Y$ with a parameter dependent Riemannian metric, such that the…

In this paper, we investigate uniform spectral gaps for Weil-Petersson random hyperbolic surfaces with not many cusps. We show that if $n=O(g^\alpha)$ where $\alpha\in \left[0,\frac{1}{2}\right)$, then for any $\epsilon>0$, a random cusped…
