Abstract

Doran, Jensen and Giansiracusa showed a bijection between homogeneous elements in the Cox ring of M0,n\overline{M}_{0,n} not divisible by any exceptional divisor section, and weighted pure-dimensional simplicial complexes satisfying a zero-tension condition. Motivated by the study of the monoid of effective divisors, the pseudoeffective cone and the Cox ring of M0,n\overline{M}_{0,n}, we point out a simplification of the zero-tension condition and study the space of balanced complexes. We give examples of irreducible elements in the monoid of effective divisors of M0,n\overline{M}_{0,n} for large nn. In the case of M0,7\overline{M}_{0,7}, we classify all such irreducible elements arising from nonsingular complexes and give an example of how irreducibility can be shown in the singular case.
