Title: The spectral gap of random hyperbolic surfaces
Abstract: We will start with a survey on (some very recent) results on the low spectrum of random compact hyperbolic surfaces, for various models including discrete and continuous Teichmuller spaces. We will then give some ideas of the proofs by emphasizing the analogy with radom graphs. We will also dicuss non compact situations where similar results on resonances can be obtained. Joint works with Michael Magee and Doron Puder.
