Abstract [en]

We prove Getzler's claims about the cohomology of the moduli space of stable curves of genus one, that is, that the even cohomology ring is spanned by the strata classes and that all relations between these classes follow from the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) relation and Getzler's relation. In particular, the even cohomology ring is isomorphic to the tautological ring.

Abstract [en]

We prove that for N equal to at least one of the integers 8, 12, 16, 20 the tautological ring is not Gorenstein. In fact, our N equals the smallest integer such that there is a non-tautological cohomology class of even degree on . By work of Graber and Pandharipande, such a class exists on , and we present some evidence indicating that N is in fact 20.

2013 (English)In: The Michigan mathematical journal, ISSN 0026-2285, E-ISSN 1945-2365, Vol. 62, no 4, p. 705-720Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

We consider the loci of d-elliptic curves in $M_2$, and corresponding loci of d-elliptic surfaces in $A_2$. We show how a description of these loci as quotients of a product of modular curves can be used to calculate cohomology of natural local systems on them, both as mixed Hodge structures and $\ell$-adic Galois representations. We study in particular the case d=2, and compute the Euler characteristic of the moduli space of n-pointed bi-elliptic genus 2 curves in the Grothendieck group of Hodge structures.

4. On the operad structure of admissible G-covers

(English)Manuscript (preprint) (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

We describe the modular operad structure on the moduli spaces of pointed stable curves equipped with an admissible G-cover. To do this we are forced to introduce the notion of an operad colored not by a set but by the objects of a groupoid. This construction interpolates in some sense between “framed” and “colored” versions of operads; we hope that it will be of independent interest. An algebra over this operad is the same thing as a G-equivariant CohFT. Our main theorem is an extension of the symmetric function formalism for modular operads to this setting; we prove an analogue of the formula of Getzler and Kapranov describing the effect of the “free modular operad” functor on the level of symmetric functions.

2014 (English)In: Selecta Mathematica, New Series, ISSN 1022-1824, E-ISSN 1420-9020, Vol. 20, no 3, p. 817-822Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

We give a new proof of formality of the operad of little disks. The proof makes use of an operadic version of a simple formality criterion for commutative differential graded algebras due to Sullivan. We see that formality is a direct consequence of the fact that the Grothendieck-Teichmuller group operates on the chain operad of little disks.
