Gorenstein conjecture for tautological rings of moduli spaces of pointed curves
Gorenstein conjecture for tautological rings of moduli spaces of pointed curves
Let be the moduli space of stable pointed curves, and consider the filtration
Here is the locus of curves of compact type, is the locus of curves with rational tails, and is the locus with a fixed stabilized complex structure. Let denote the tautological ring of each member of this filtration, obtained as the image of in the associated quotient sequence. A finite-dimensional graded algebra is Gorenstein with socle in degree if there is an evaluation isomorphism such that the product pairings are nondegenerate.
Gorenstein conjecture. The tautological rings of the filtration of are finite-dimensional Gorenstein algebras.
This predicts that these tautological rings resemble the cohomology rings of compact manifolds, which are Gorenstein algebras. The conjecture concerns the structure of tautological rings across the boundary, compact-type, rational-tail, and fixed-curve strata; no resolution is specified here.
