Abstract

We compute the integral Chow ring of the quotient stack [(P1)n/PGL2][(\mathbb{P}^1)^n/PGL_2], which contains M0,n\mathcal{M}_{0,n} as a dense open, and determine a natural Z\mathbb{Z}-basis for the Chow ring in terms of certain ordered incidence strata. We further show that all Z\mathbb{Z}-linear relations between the classes of ordered incidence strata arise from an analogue of the WDVV relations in A(M0,n)A^\bullet(\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}). Next we compute the classes of unordered incidence strata in the integral Chow ring of the quotient stack [SymnP1/PGL2][{\rm Sym}^n\mathbb{P}^1/PGL_2] and classify all Z\mathbb{Z}-linear relations between the strata via these analogues of WDVV relations. Finally, we compute the rational Chow rings of the complement of a union of unordered incidence strata.
