A multicurve can be decomposed into components. The ratios of the length of each component to the total length give a hint of the shape of the multicurve. In this paper, we determine the distribution of these ratios of a random multicurve with a given topological type on a closed hyperbolic surface, using the methods of Margulis’ thesis and Mirzakhani’s equidistribution theorem for horospheres. This distribution admits a polynomial density whose coefficients can be expressed explicitly in terms of intersection numbers of psi-classes on the Deligne–Mumford compactification of the moduli space of complex curves, and in particular it does not depend on the hyperbolic metric. This result generalizes prior work of M. Mirzakhani in the case of random pants decompositions. Results very close to ours were obtained independently and simultaneously by F. Arana-Herrera.
