Faber's Gorenstein quotient conjecture from relations on the universal curve
Let be the -fold fiber product of the universal curve over , let be the Hodge bundle, and let and denote the tautological classes on . Let be the forgetful map. In the polynomial ring , define to be generated by the classes
where and is a monomial in the and . Faber's quotient conjecture. The quotient ring is Gorenstein with socle in degree , and hence is isomorphic to . The construction seeks to recover the tautological ring from geometric relations; it is known to work in a range of genera, but the asserted Gorenstein property and identification are not known in general.
