Abstract: Given a simple closed curve gamma on a connected, oriented, closed surface S of negative Euler characteristic, Mirzakhani showed that the set of points in the moduli space of hyperbolic structures on S having a simple closed geodesic of length L of the same topological type as gamma equidistributes with respect to a natural probability measure as Loinfty. We prove several generalizations of Mirzakhani's result and discuss some of the technical aspects ommited in her original work. The dynamics of the earthquake flow play a fundamental role in the arguments in this paper.


The author obtains generalizations of results of Mirzakhani on the asymptotic equidistribution, as \(L\to\infty\), of closed geodesics of fixed length \(L\), with respect to a natural measure on the moduli space of closed hyperbolic surfaces of fixed type. At the same time, he provides details for several arguments that were passed over quickly in Mirzakhani's papers.
