Abstract
We show that the tessellation of a compact, negatively curved surface induced by a long random geodesic segment, when properly scaled, looks locally like a Poisson line process. This implies that the global statistics of the tessellation – for instance, the fraction of triangles – approach those of the limiting Poisson line process.
