Abstract

We analyse cusp excursions of random geodesics for Weil--Petersson type incomplete metrics on orientable surfaces of finite type: in particular, we give bounds for maximal excursions. We also give similar bounds for cusp excursions of random Weil--Petersson geodesics on non-exceptional moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces conditional on the assumption that the Weil--Petersson flow is polynomially mixing. Moreover, we explain how our methods can be adapted to understand almost greasing collisions of typical trajectories in certain slowly mixing billiards.
