Abstract: We establish exponential mixing for the geodesic flow $varph{i}_{t}colon{T}^{1}So{T}^{1}S$ of an incomplete, negatively curved surface $S$ with cusp-like singularities of a prescribed order. As a consequence, we obtain that the Weil-Petersson flows for the moduli spaces ${mathcalM}_{1,1}$ and ${mathcalM}_{0,4}$ are exponentially mixing, in sharp contrast to the flows for ${mathcalM}_{g,n}$ with $3g-3+n>1$, which fail to be rapidly mixing. In the proof, we present a new method of analyzing invariant foliations for hyperbolic flows with singularities, based on changing the Riemannian metric on the phase space $T^{1}S$ and rescaling the flow $varph{i}_t$.
