The intersection-theoretic formulas for affine invariant submanifolds

Let N{\mathcal N} be an affine invariant submanifold in a stratum of Abelian differentials. Suppose its tangent space projects onto an aa-dimensional subspace of absolute periods with an rr-dimensional kernel of relative periods, so that dimCN=a+r\dim_{\mathbb C}{\mathcal N}=a+r. Let PN\mathbb{P}\overline{\mathcal N} be the closure of its projectivization in the incidence-variety compactification, let ξ\xi be the first Chern class of the universal line bundle, let δ\delta be the boundary divisor class, let λ1\lambda_1 be the first Hodge class, and let ψi\psi_i be associated with the relative-period zero ziz_i.

The affine-invariant-submanifold intersection formulas. The area Siegel–Veech constant and the sum of Lyapunov exponents are

The conjecture seeks uniform intersection-theoretic formulas for dynamical invariants of arbitrary affine invariant submanifolds; beyond the cases established in the paper, the general statement remains open.
