Quantum Cohomology of Moduli Spaces of Genus Zero Stable Curves
We investigate the (small) quantum cohomology ring of the moduli spaces M0,n of stable n-pointed curves of genus 0. In particular, we determine an explicit presentation in the case n = 5 and we outline a computational approach to the case n = 6.
متن کاملModuli spaces in genus zero and inversion of power series
Let M 0,n denote the moduli space Riemann surfaces of genus 0 with n ordered marked points. Its Deligne-Mumford compactification M 0,n is naturally partitioned into connected strata of the form indexed by the different topological types of stable curves with n marked points. The stable curves in the stratum above have s irreducible components and s − 1 nodes; thus n i = n + 2s − 2. This note pr...
متن کاملGeodesic Shape Spaces of Surfaces of Genus Zero
We construct shape spaces of elastic spherical surfaces immersed in Euclidean space R. The spaces are equipped with geodesic metrics that depend on the tension and rigidity of the surfaces. We develop algorithms to calculate geodesics and geodesic distances, as well as tools to quantify local shape similarities and contrasts, thus obtaining a local-global formulation. We give examples of geodes...
متن کاملTessellations of Moduli Spaces and the Mosaic Operad
We construct a new (cyclic) operad of mosaics defined by polygons with marked diagonals. Its underlying (aspherical) spaces are the sets Mn 0 (R) which are naturally tiled by Stasheff associahedra. We describe them as iterated blow-ups and show that their fundamental groups form an operad with similarities to the operad of braid groups. Acknowledgments. This paper is a version of my doctorate t...
متن کاملOn Operad Structures of Moduli Spaces and String Theory
We construct a real compactification of the moduli space of punctured rational algebraic curves and show how its geometry yields operads governing homotopy Lie algebras, gravity algebras and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras. These algebras appeared recently in the context of string theory, and we give a simple deduction of these algebraic structures from the formal axioms of conformal field theory a...
