We prove that the tautological ring of $M_{2,n}^{ct}$, the moduli space of n-pointed genus two curves of compact type, does not have Poincar\'e duality for any $n \geq 8$. This result is obtained via a more general study of the cohomology…

We state and check the analogue of Faber's conjectures for the tautological ring of the moduli spaces $M_{g,n}$ of $n$-pointed smooth curves of genus $g$.

We discuss analogs of Faber's conjecture for two nested sequences of partial compactifications of the moduli space of smooth curves. We show that their tautological rings are one-dimensional in top degree but do not satisfy Poincare…

Let M_{g,n}^rt be the moduli space of stable n-pointed curves of genus g>1 with rational tails. We also consider the space C_g^n classifying smooth curves of genus g with not necessarily distinct n ordered points. There is a natural proper…

We study the tautological ring of the moduli space of stable n-pointed curves of genus two with rational tails. The algebra is described in terms of explicit generators and relations. It is proven that this algebra is Gorenstein.

Let $M_g$ be the moduli space of smooth genus $g$ curves. We define a notion of Chow groups of $M_g$ with coefficients in a representation of $Sp(2g)$, and we define a subgroup of tautological classes in these Chow groups with twisted…

We establish a number of foundational results on Poincar\'e spaces which result in several applications. One application settles an old conjecture of C.T.C. Wall in the affirmative. Another result shows that for any natural number n, there…

We study normal crossings compactifications of the moduli space of maps $\mathcal{M}_{g, n}(\mathbb{P}^r, d)$, for $g = 0$ and $g = 1$. In each case we explicitly determine the dual boundary complex, and prove that it admits a natural…

Turaev conjectured that the classification, realization and splitting results for Poincar\'e duality complexes of dimension $3$ (PD$_{3}$-complexes) generalize to PD$_{n}$-complexes with $(n-2)$-connected universal cover for $n \ge 3$.…

We determine the rational Chow ring of the moduli space $\mathcal{H}_{g,n}$ of $n$-pointed smooth hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ when $n \leq 2g+6$. We also show that the Chow ring of the partial compactification $\mathcal{I}_{g,n}$,…

We describe the tautological ring of the moduli space of $n$-pointed curves of genus one of compact type. It is proven that it is a Gorenstein algebra.

We study tautological classes on the moduli space of stable $n$-pointed hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ with rational tails. Our result gives a complete description of tautological relations. The method is based on the approach of Yin in…

It is well known that the cup-product pairing on the complementary integral cohomology groups (modulo torsion) of a compact oriented manifold is unimodular. We prove a similar result for the $\ell$-adic cohomology groups of smooth algebraic…

We prove that a large class of Poincar\'e duality pairs admit rational models (in the sense of Sullivan) of a particularly nice form associated to some Poincar\'e duality CDGA. These models have applications in particular to the…

We provide an explicit description of the Poincar\'e dual of each generator of the rational cohomology ring of the $SU(2)$ character variety for a genus $g$ surface with central extension -- equivalently, that of the moduli space of stable…

We carry out a complete birational classification of the universal theta divisor Th_g over the moduli space of curves of genus g, and show that Th_g enjoys good rationality properties for g<12, and is a variety of general type for g\geq 12.…

We show that the compactification of the moduli space of $n-$nodal curves of genus g, i.e. $\mathcal{N}_{g,n}:= \mathcal{M}_{g,2n} /G$, with $G:=(\mathbb{Z}_2)^n \rtimes S_n$, is of general type for $g \geq 24$, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$.…

We prove that the moduli space of rational curves with cyclic action, constructed in our previous work, is realizable as a wonderful compactification of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement in a product of projective spaces. By…

We describe a very large class of conjectural relations in the tautological ring of the moduli space $\bar{M}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points, extending and generalizing the Faber-Zagier relations. These notes…

We introduce a notion of Poincar\'e duality for pairs of $\infty$-categories, extending Poincar\'e-Lefschetz duality for pairs of spaces. This categorical extension yields an efficient book-keeping device that affords, among other things, a…
