Spectral Convergence of the Dirac Operator on Typical Hyperbolic Surfaces of High Genus

Abstract

AbstractIn this article, we study the Dirac spectrum of typical hyperbolic surfaces of finite area, equipped with a nontrivial spin structure (so that the Dirac spectrum is discrete). For random Weil–Petersson surfaces of large genus g with $$o(\sqrt{g})$$ o ( g ) cusps, we prove convergence of the spectral density to the spectral density of the hyperbolic plane, with quantitative error estimates. This result implies upper bounds on spectral counting functions and multiplicities, as well as a uniform Weyl law, true for typical hyperbolic surfaces equipped with any nontrivial spin structure.
