Abstract

Hassett spaces are moduli spaces of weighted stable pointed curves. In this work, we consider such spaces of curves of genus 00 with weights all 12\frac{1}{2}. These spaces are interesting as they are isomorphic to M0,n\overline{M}_{0,n} but have different universal families and different intersection theory. We develop a closed formula for intersections of ψ\psi-classes on such spaces. In our main result, we encode the formula for top intersections in a generating function obtained by applying a differential operator to the Witten-potential.
