Let $M_g$ be the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$ endowed with the Weil-Petersson metric. In this paper, we show that for any $\epsilon>0$, as genus $g$ goes to infinity, a generic surface $X\in M_g$ satisfies that the first…

We study the number of short geodesics and small eigenvalues on Weil-Petersson random genus zero hyperbolic surfaces with $n$ cusps in the regime $n\to\infty$. Inspired by work of Mirzakhani and Petri \cite{Mi.Pe19}, we show that the random…

We show that the Weil-Petersson probability that a random surface has first eigenvalue of the Laplacian less than $3/16-\epsilon$ goes to zero as the genus goes to infinity.

We show a uniform spectral gap of stable commutator length for all compact hyperbolic $2$-orbifolds relative to the peripheral subgroups. Except for the case of a sphere with three cone points, we have an explicit uniform gap $1/36$. These…
