Abstract
We consider the loci of curves of genus 2 and 3 admitting a -to-1 map to a genus 1 curve. After compactifying these loci via admissible covers, we obtain formulas for their Chow classes, recovering results of Faber-Pagani and van Zelm when . The answers exhibit quasimodularity properties similar to those in the Gromov-Witten theory of a fixed genus 1 curve; we conjecture that the quasimodularity persists in higher genus, and indicate a number of possible variants.
