Abstract: We study the spectral geometric properties of the scalar Laplace-Beltrami operator associated to the Weil-Petersson metric $g_{mathrmWP}$ on $mathcal{M}_{g}amma$, the Riemann moduli space of surfaces of genus $gamma>1$. This space has a singular compactification with respect to $g_{mathrmWP}$, and this metric has crossing cusp-edge singularities along a finite collection of simple normal crossing divisors. We prove first that the scalar Laplacian is essentially self-adjoint, which then implies that its spectrum is discrete. The second theorem is a Weyl asymptotic formula for the counting function for this spectrum.
