A Simple Proof of Mirzakhani’s Recursion Formula of Weil-petersson Volumes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we give a simple proof of Mirzakhani's recursion formula of Weil-Petersson volumes of moduli spaces of curves using the Witten-Kontsevich theorem. We also briefly describe a very general recursive phenomenon in the intersection theory of moduli spaces of curves. In particular, we present several new recursion formulas for higher degree κ classes.

Weil-Petersson volume of moduli spaces, Mirzakhani’s recursion and matrix models
We prove that Mirzakhani’s recursions for the volumes of moduli space of Riemann surfaces are a special case of random matrix recursion relations, and therefore we confirm again that Kontsevich’s integral is a generating function for those volumes. As an application, we propose a formula for the Weil-Petersson volume Vol(Mg,0).
متن کاملRecursion Formulae of Higher Weil-petersson Volumes
Abstract. In this paper we study effective recursion formulae for computing intersection numbers of mixed ψ and κ classes on moduli spaces of curves. By using the celebrated WittenKontsevich theorem, we generalize Mulase-Safnuk form of Mirzakhani’s recursion and prove a recursion formula of higher Weil-Petersson volumes. We also present recursion formulae to compute intersection pairings in the...
متن کاملRecursion between Mumford volumes of moduli spaces
Abstract We propose a new proof, as well as a generalization of Mirzakhani’s recursion for volumes of moduli spaces. We interpret those recursion relations in terms of expectation values in Kontsevich’s integral, i.e. we relate them to a Ribbon graph decomposition of Riemann surfaces. We find a generalization of Mirzakhani’s recursions to measures containing all higher Mumford’s κ classes, and ...
متن کاملRecursions and Asymptotics of Intersection Numbers
We establish the asymptotic expansion of certain integrals of ψ classes on moduli spaces of curves Mg,n when either the g or n goes to infinity. Our main tools are cut-join type recursion formulae from the WittenKontsevich theorem as well as asymptotics of solutions to the first Painlevé equation. We also raise a conjecture on large genus asymptotics for n-point functions of ψ classes and parti...
