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 kappa classes, and not only kappa1 as in the Weil-Petersson case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-06-29T12:46:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "moduli spaces", "mumford volumes", "mirzakhanis recursion", "higher mumfords kappa classes", "ribbon graph decomposition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0706.4403E" } } }
