Graph Cohomology and Kontsevich Cycles
نویسنده
چکیده
We use the duality between compactly supported cohomology of the associative graph complex and the cohomology of the mapping class group to show that the duals of the Kontsevich cycles [Wλ] correspond to polynomials in the Miller-Morita-Mumford classes. We also compute the coefficients of the first two terms of this polynomial. This extends the results of [Igu], giving a more detailed answer to a question of Kontsevich [Kon92] and verifying more of the conjectured formulas of Arbarello and Cornalba [AC96].

Lie algebras of symplectic derivations and cycles on the moduli spaces
In [16, 17], Kontsevich considered three infinite dimensional Lie algebras, denoted by cg, ag, lg , and described the stable homology of them, as g tends to ∞, in terms of his graph homology for the case c∞ , the rational cohomology of the moduli spaces of curves with unlabeled punctures for the case a∞ , and the rational cohomology of the outer automorphism group Out Fn of free groups Fn (n ≥ ...
متن کاملThe Tautological Rings of the Moduli Spaces of Stable Maps to Flag Varieties
We show that the rational cohomology classes on the moduli spaces of genus zero stable maps to SL flag varieties are tautological. The Kontsevich moduli stacks of stable maps arise as generalizations of the classical Deligne-Mumford spaces of stable curves. Their intersection theory has been intensively studied in the last decade in relation to enumerative geometry and string theory. Partial re...
متن کاملPROPped up graph cohomology
We consider graph complexes with a flow and compute their cohomology. More specifically, we prove that for a PROP generated by a Koszul dioperad, the corresponding graph complex gives a minimal model of the PROP. We also give another proof of the existence of a minimal model of the bialgebra PROP from [14]. These results are based on the useful notion of a 1 2 PROP introduced by Kontsevich in [9].
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes of A∞-algebras
A standard combinatorial construction, due to Kontsevich, associates to any A∞-algebra with an invariant inner product, an inhomogeneous class in the cohomology of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points. We propose an alternative version of this construction based on noncommutative geometry and use it to prove that homotopy equivalent algebras give rise to the same cohomology ...
متن کاملIncreasing trees and Kontsevich cycles
It is known that the combinatorial classes in the cohomology of the mapping class group of punctures surfaces defined by Witten and Kontsevich are polynomials in the adjusted Miller–Morita–Mumford classes. The leading coefficient was computed in [4]. The next coefficient was computed in [6]. The present paper gives a recursive formula for all of the coefficients. The main combinatorial tool is ...
