Summary: Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces may be endowed with a symplectic structure via the Weil-Petersson form. M. Mirzakhani [J. Am. Math. Soc. 20, No. 1, 1–23 (2007; Zbl 1120.32008)] proved that Weil-Petersson volumes exhibit polynomial behaviour and that their coefficients store intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves. In this survey article, we discuss these results as well as some consequences and applications.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1260.14001].
