Abstract

We compute many new classes of effective divisors in Mg,n\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n} coming from the strata of abelian differentials and efficiently reproduce many known results obtained by alternate methods. Our method utilises maps between moduli spaces and the degeneration of abelian differentials.
