In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties of random hyperbolic surfaces of large genus. We describe the relationship between the behavior of lengths of simple closed geodesics on a hyperbolic surface and properties of the moduli space of such surfaces. First, we study the asymptotic behavior of Weil-Petersson volume Vg,n of the moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces of genus g with n punctures as g → ∞. Then we discuss basic geometric properties of a random hyperbolic surface of genus g with respect to the Weil-Petersson measure as g → ∞.

In this article we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an irreducible K¨ahler C-space with b2 = 1 to have nonnegative or positive quadratic bisectional curvature, assuming the space is not Hermitian symmetric. In the cases of the five exceptional Lie groups E6,E7,E8, F4,G2, the computer package MAPLE is used to assist our calculations. The results are related to two conjectures of Li-Wu-Zheng.

We give a complete classification of locally strongly convex affine hypersurfaces of Rn+1 with parallel cubic form with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the affine Berwald-Blaschke metric. It turns out that all such affine hypersurfaces are quadrics or can be obtained by applying repeatedly the Calabi product construction of hyperbolic affine hyperspheres, using as building blocks either the hyperboloid, or the standard immersion of one of the symmetric spaces SL(m,R)/SO(m), SL(m,C)/SU(m), SU 2m /Sp(m), or E6(−26)/F4.

The authors derive a McShane identity for once-punctured super tori. Relying upon earlier work on super Teichmuller theory by the last two-named authors, they further develop the supergeometry of these surfaces and establish asymptotic growth rate of their length spectra.

We generalize the results of Adams–Schoenfeld [2], finding large classes of totally geodesic Seifert surfaces in hyperbolic knot and link complements, each covering a rigid 2-orbifold embedded in some hyperbolic 3-orbifold. In addition, we provide a uniqueness theorem and demonstrate that many knots cannot possess totally geodesic Seifert surfaces by giving bounds on the width invariant in the presence of such a surface. Finally, we utilize these examples to demonstrate that the Six Theorem is sharp for knot complements in the 3-sphere.
