Abstract

We define an effective divisor of the moduli space of stable curves Mg\overline{M_g}, which is denoted S2W\overline{S^{2}W}. Writing the class of S2W\overline{S^{2}W} in the Picard group of the moduli functor Picfun(Mg)Q_{\text{fun}}(\overline{M_{g}})\otimes \mathbb{Q} in terms of the so-called Harer basis λ,δ0,,δ[g/2]\lambda,\delta_0,\ldots,\delta_{[g/2]}, we prove that the relations among the coefficients of δ1,,δ[g/2]\delta_1,\ldots,\delta_{[g/2]} are the same relations on coefficients as the Brill-Noether divisors. We present a result on effective divisors of Mg\overline{M_g} which could be useful to get the same relations on coefficients for other divisors. We also compute the coefficient of λ\lambda.
