Faber-Pandharipande conjecture on the prime valuations of intersection-number denominators
Let be the least common multiple of the denominators of the genus- intersection numbers, and let denote the maximum integer such that . For a prime number and , the conjecture asserts:
Faber–Pandharipande conjecture.
and
where denotes the greatest integer not exceeding . These formulas give the conjectural exact values of the common denominators of tautological intersection numbers on the moduli space of stable curves; the source reports computations only through genus , so the general assertion remains open.
