We prove several generalizations of Mirzakhani's result and discuss some of the technical aspects ommited in her original work. The dynamics of the earthquake flow play a fundamental role in the arguments in this paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-09T05:42:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "moduli space", "hyperbolic surfaces", "equidistribution", "horospheres", "natural probability measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
