Faber's tautological-algebra conjecture for the moduli space of curves
Faber's tautological-algebra conjecture for the moduli space of curves
Let be the moduli space of smooth genus- curves, and let be its tautological algebra, with tautological classes . Faber's conjecture. The algebra behaves like the cohomology algebra of a nonsingular projective variety of dimension : it vanishes in degrees greater than , is one dimensional in degree , and the pairing
is perfect; it also satisfies Hard Lefschetz and Hodge Positivity with respect to . Moreover, the classes generate the algebra with no relations in degrees at most , and there are explicit formulas for the proportionalities in degree . The source notes that the generation assertion is proved there at the level of rational cohomology, while the remaining structural and proportionality assertions are presented as conjectural.
