Asymptotics of the Weil-Petersson metric

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider the Riemann moduli space Mγ\mathcal M_γ of conformal structures on a compact surface of genus γ>1γ>1 together with its Weil-Petersson metric gWPg_{\mathrm{WP}}. Our main result is that gWPg_{\mathrm{WP}} admits a complete polyhomogeneous expansion in powers of the lengths of the short geodesics up to the singular divisors of the Deligne-Mumford compactification of Mγ\mathcal M_γ.
