The conjectural formula for Kontsevich cycles
The conjectural formula for Kontsevich cycles
Let be the Kontsevich cycle indexed by nonnegative integers and , and let denote the corresponding modified kappa class. Write for the odd double factorial. The conjectural formula for . One should have
When , the right-hand side should be divided by . This conjecture extrapolates the formulas established for the cases and and predicts a symmetric expression for all Kontsevich cycles; its general validity is not established in the supplied text.
