Intersecting psi-classes on tropical Hassett spaces


Abstract
             

In this talk, we study the tropical intersection theory of Hassett spaces in genus 0. Hassett spaces are alternative compactifications of the moduli space of curves with n marked points induced by a vector of rational numbers. These spaces have a natural combinatorial analogue in tropical geometry, called tropical Hassett spaces, provided by the Bergman fan of a matroid which parametrizes certain n marked graphs. We introduce a notion of Psi-classes on these tropical Hassett spaces and determine their intersection behavior. In particular, we show that for a large family of rational vectors - namely the so-called heavy/light vectors - the intersection products of Psi-classes of the associated tropical Hassett spaces agree with their algebra-geometric analogue. This talk is based on a joint work with Shiyue Li.
