A boundary-addition identity for Weil-Petersson volumes and their supersymmetric generalizations

We consider $V_{g,n}(\{b_i\})$, the Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $n$ geodesic boundaries of lengths $b_i$, $(i=1,...,n)$, and various ${ N}{\geq}1$ supersymmetric generalizations of them, using a framework within which they are specializations of a larger family of qu...
