Simplicial equations for the moduli space of stable rational curves

Algebraic Geometry 2019-06-13 v1 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

In this, largely expository, note, we show how the simplicial structure of the moduli spaces of stable rational curves with marked points allows to produce explicit equations for these spaces. The key argument is an elementary combinatorial statement about the sets of trees with marked leaves.
