Abstract We continue our study of the asymptotics of moduli space volumes in large genus, following Mirzakhani and Mirzakhani-Zograf. We deduce some asymptotic properties of random hyperbolic surfaces in large genus: for example, we compute the …

Human languages allow the creation of an unlimited number of messages. Syntactic Combinatorics is at the root of this remarkable property. Through the recursive application of simple Combinatorics rules (perhaps just one very general rule ! ), we can …
