Designed to welcome readers to the area, the presentation builds intuition with elementary examples before progressing to rigorous proofs. This approach illuminates new and established results alike, and produces versatile tools for studying the geometry of hyperbolic surfaces, Teichmuller theory, and mapping class groups. Beginning with the preliminaries of curves and arcs on surfaces, the authors go on to present the theory of geodesic currents in detail. Highlights include a treatment of cusped surfaces and surfaces with boundary, along with a comprehensive discussion of the action of the mapping class group on the space of geodesic currents. A user-friendly account of train tracks follows, providing the foundation for radallas, an immersed variation. From here, the authors apply these tools to great effect, offering simplified proofs of existing results and a new, more general proof of Mirzakhanis curve counting theorem. Further applications include counting square-tiled surfaces and mapping class group orbits, and investigating random geometric structures. Mirzakhanis Curve Counting and Geodesic Currents introduces readers to powerful counting techniques for the study of surfaces. Ideal for graduate students and researchers new to the area, the pedagogical approach, conversational style, and illuminating illustrations bring this exciting field to life. Exercises offer opportunities to engage with the material throughout. Basic familiarity with 2-dimensional topology and hyperbolic geometry, measured laminations, and the mapping class group is assumed. 001449754 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 4, 2022). 001449754 650_0 $$aCurves. 001449754 650_0 $$aCurves, Algebraic. 001449754 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449754 7001_ $$aSouto, Juan,$$eauthor. 001449754 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031087046$$z9783031087042$$w(OCoLC)1319076631 001449754 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aErlandsson, Viveka.$$tMirzakhani's curve counting and geodesic currents.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783031087042$$w(OCoLC)1338652988 001449754 830_0 $$aProgress in mathematics (Boston, Mass.) ;$$vv. 345. 001449754 852__ $$bebk 001449754 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-08705-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449754 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449754$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449754 980__ $$aBIB 001449754 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449754 982__ $$aEbook 001449754 983__ $$aOnline 001449754 994__ $$a92$$bISE
