Counting hyperbolic multi-geodesics with respect to the lengths of individual components
Geometry/Topology| Speaker: | Francisco Arana Herrera, Stanford |
| Location: | Zoom |

In her thesis, Mirzakhani showed that on any closed hyperbolic surface of genus g, the number of simple closed geodesics of length at most L is asymptotic to a polynomial in L of degree 6g-6. Wolpert conjectured that analogous results should hold for more general countings of multi-geodesics that keep track of the lengths of individual components. In this talk we will present a proof of this conjecture which combines techniques and results of Mirzakhani as well as ideas introduced by Margulis in his thesis.
