Abstract

Strata of kk-differentials on smooth curves parameterize sections of the kk-th power of the canonical bundle with prescribed orders of zeros and poles. Define the tautological ring of the projectivized strata using the κ\kappa and ψ\psi classes of moduli spaces of pointed smooth curves along with the tautological class η\eta of the Hodge bundle. We show that if there is no pole of order kk, then the tautological ring is generated by η\eta only, and otherwise it is generated by the ψ\psi classes corresponding to the poles of order kk.
