Abstract: We prove that if $X$ is a finite area non-compact hyperbolic surface, then for any $epsilon>0$, with probability tending to one as $noinfty$, a uniformly random degree $n$ Riemannian cover of $X$ has no eigenvalues of the Laplacian in $[0,frac14-epsilon)$ other than those of $X$, and with the same multiplicities. As a result, using a compactification procedure due to Buser, Burger, and Dodziuk, we settle in the affirmative the question of whether there exist a sequence of closed hyperbolic surfaces with genera tending to infinity and first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian tending to $frac14$.
