Weil-Petersson volume of moduli spaces, Mirzakhani's recursion and matrix models
read the original abstract
We show that Mirzakhani's recursions for the volumes of moduli space of Riemann surfaces are a special case of random matrix loop equations, and therefore we confirm again that Kontsevitch's integral is a generating function for those volumes. As an application, we propose a formula for the Weil-Petersson volume Vol(M_{g,0}).

Mind the crosscap: $\tau$-scaling in non-orientable gravity and time-reversal-invariant systems
Non-orientable topological gravity produces a resummed topological expansion whose late-time behavior matches the GOE universality class of random matrix theory for time-reversal invariant chaotic systems.

Geometry of Logarithmic Topological Recursion: Dilaton Equations, Free Energies and Variational Formulas
Logarithmic topological recursion supplies dilaton equations and free-energy definitions that match the Nekrasov-Shatashvili perturbative partition function and all-genus mirror-curve free energies directly.

Finite cutoff JT gravity: Baby universes, Matrix dual, and (Krylov) Complexity
Finite cutoff in JT gravity causes faster ERB-length saturation, deformation-dependent baby-universe emission only under Lorentzian evolution, and possible one-cut universality corrections in the matrix dual.
