Stable secondary-class polynomiality conjecture for the Johnson kernel
Stable secondary-class polynomiality conjecture for the Johnson kernel
Let be the Johnson kernel, let be the higher secondary classes, and let act on . Secondary-class conjecture. All classes are uniquely defined and non-trivial for sufficiently large genus, and
This predicts that the stable mapping-class-group-invariant cohomology of the Johnson kernel is a polynomial algebra on the secondary classes; the source gives no resolution.
