A Dilogarithm Identity on Moduli Spaces of Curves

چکیده
We establish an identity for compact hyperbolic surfaces with or without boundary whose terms depend on the dilogarithms of the lengths of simple closed geodesics in all 3-holed spheres and 1-holed tori in the surface.

Moduli Spaces and Multiple Polylogarithm Motives
In this paper, we give a natural construction of mixed Tate motives whose periods are a class of iterated integrals which include the multiple polylogarithm functions. Given such an iterated integral, we construct two divisors A and B in the moduli spacesM0,n of n-pointed stable curves of genus 0, and prove that the cohomology of the pair (M0,n−A,B−B∩A) is a framed mixed Tate motive whose perio...
متن کاملThe N-point Functions for Intersection Numbers on Moduli Spaces of Curves
Abstract. Using the celebrated Witten-Kontsevich theorem, we prove a recursive formula of the n-point functions for intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves. It has been used to prove the Faber intersection number conjecture and motivated us to find some conjectural vanishing identities for Gromov-Witten invariants. The latter has been proved recently by X. Liu and R. Pandharipande. We a...

LetG be a split semisimple algebraic group over Qwith trivial center. Let S be a compact oriented surface, with or without boundary. We define positive representations of the fundamental group of S to G(R), construct explicitly all positive representations, and prove that they are faithful, discrete, and positive hyperbolic; the moduli space of positive representations is a topologically trivia...
متن کاملNew Properties of the Intersection Numbers on Moduli Spaces of Curves
We present certain new properties about the intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves Mg,n. In particular we prove a new identity, which together with a conjectural identity implies the famous Faber’s conjecture about certain values of intersection numbers [1]. These new identities are much simpler than Faber’s identity and clarified the mysterious constant in Faber’s conjecture. We also ...
متن کاملUniversal moduli spaces of vector bundles and the log-minimal model program on the moduli of curves
Recent work on the log-minimal model program for the moduli space of curves, as well as past results of Caporaso, Pandharipande, and Simpson motivate an investigation of compactifications of the universal moduli space of slope semi-stable vector bundles over moduli spaces of curves arising in the Hassett–Keel program. Our main result is the construction of a universal moduli space of slope semi...
