The first higher Chow groups of $\mathcal{M}_{1,n}$ for $n\leq 4$

Algebraic Geometry 2026-01-26 v2

Abstract

For n4n\leq 4, we compute the indecomposible higher Chow groups CH(M1,n,1)\overline{\operatorname{CH}}(\mathcal{M}_{1,n},1) with integer coefficients. As an application, we give new proofs of presentations of the integral Chow rings CH(M1,n)\operatorname{CH}(\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1,n}) for n4n\leq 4 and determine formulas for the classes of boundary strata in these rings.
