We study the systole of a random surface, where by a random surface we mean a surface constructed by randomly gluing together an even number of triangles. We study two types of metrics on these surfaces, the first one coming from using…

Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary components of fixed lengths may be endowed with a symplectic structure via the Weil-Petersson form. We show that, as the boundary lengths are sent to infinity, the Weil-Petersson…

Let $S$ be a closed orientable hyperbolic surface with Euler characteristic$\chi$, and let $\lambda_k(S)$ be the $k$-th positive eigenvalue for the Laplacian on $S$. According to famous result of Otal and Rosas, $\lambda_{-\chi}>\frac14$.…
We give a summary of known results on the maximal distances between Dehn fillings on a hyperbolic 3-manifold that yield 3-manifolds containing a surface of non-negative Euler characteristic that is either essential or Heegaard.
For any given natural number $k$, this paper gives upper bounds on the radius of a packing of a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area by $k$ equal-radius disks in terms of the surface's topology. We show that the bounds given here are…
The core focus of this series of two articles is the study of the distribution of the length spectrum of closed hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$, sampled randomly with respect to the Weil-Petersson probability measure. In the first article,…
We prove an inequality bounding the renormalized area of a complete minimal surface in hyperbolic space in terms of the conformal length of its ideal boundary.
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian surface with Anosov geodesic flow. We prove the existence of a spectral gap for Pollicott--Ruelle resonances on random finite coverings of $M$ in the limit of large degree, which is expected to be optimal.…
We study the degeneration of hyperbolic surfaces along a ray given by the harmonic map parametrization of Teichm\"uller space. The direction of the ray is determined by a holomorphic quadratic differential on a punctured Riemann surface,…
