Abstract

Basepoint free cycles on the moduli space M0,n\overline{M}_{0,n} of stable n-pointed rational curves, defined using Gromov-Witten invariants of smooth projective homogeneous spaces X are studied. Intersection formulas to find classes are given, with explicit examples for X a projective space, and X a smooth projective quadric hypersurface. When X is projective space, divisors are shown equivalent to conformal blocks divisors for type A at level one, giving maps from M0,n\overline{M}_{0,n} to birational models constructed as GIT quotients, parametrizing configurations of weighted points supported on (generalized) Veronese curves.
