Abstract

We construct, for all g2g\geq 2 and n0n\geq 0, a spectral sequence of rational SnS_n-representations which computes the SnS_n-equivariant reduced rational cohomology of the tropical moduli spaces of curves Δg,n\Delta_{g,n} in terms of compactly supported cohomology groups of configuration spaces of nn points on graphs of genus gg. Using the canonical SnS_n-equivariant isomorphisms H~i1(Δg,n;Q)W0Hci(Mg,n;Q)\widetilde{H}^{i-1}(\Delta_{g,n};\mathbb{Q}) \cong W_0 H^i_c(\mathcal{M}_{g,n};\mathbb{Q}), we calculate the weight 00, compactly supported rational cohomology of the moduli spaces Mg,n\mathcal{M}_{g,n} in the range g=3g=3 and n9n\leq 9, with partial computations available for n13n\leq 13.
