Tautological classes on the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves with rational tails

We study tautological classes on the moduli space of stable n-pointed hyperelliptic curves of genus g with rational tails. The method is based on the approach of Yin in comparing tautological classes on the moduli of curves and the universal Jacobian. Our result gives a complete description of tautological relations. It is proven that all relations come from the Jacobian side. The intersection pairings are shown to be perfect in all degrees. We show that the tautological algebra coincides with its image in cohomology via the cycle class map. The latter is identified with monodromy invariant classes in cohomology. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Laurent family of simple modules over quiver Hecke algebra

We introduce the notions of quasi-Laurent and Laurent families of simple modules over quiver Hecke algebras of arbitrary symmetrizable types. We prove that such a family plays a similar role of a cluster in the quantum cluster algebra theory and exhibits a quantum Laurent positivity phenomenon for the basis of the quantum unipotent coordinate ring $\mathcal{A}_q(\mathfrak{n}(w))$, coming from the categorification. Then we show that the families of simple modules categorifying GLS-clusters are Laurent families by using the PBW-decomposition vector of a simple module $X$ and categorical interpretation of (co-)degree of $[X]$. As applications of such $\mathbb{Z}$-vectors, we define several skew symmetric pairings on arbitrary pairs of simple modules, and investigate the relationships among the pairings and $\Lambda$-invariants of R-matrices in the quiver Hecke algebra theory.Comment: 26 page
