The modular operad $H_\ast(\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n})$ of the homology of Deligne-Mumford compactifications of moduli spaces of pointed Riemann surfaces has a minimal model governed by higher homology operations on the open moduli spaces $H_\ast(\mathcal{M}_{g,n})$. Using Getzler's elliptic relation, we give an explicit construction of the first family of such higher operations.

We discuss a graph complex formed by directed acyclic graphs with external legs. This complex comes in particular with a map to the ribbon graph complex computing the (compactly supported) cohomology…
Modular Operads

We develop a \higher genus" analogue of operads, which we call modular operads, in which graphs replace trees in the deenition. We study a functor F on the category of modular operads, the Feynman…

In I-7] Mumford shows that the Picard group P ic (~ ' ) is isomorphic to H2(F; 2~) and conjectures the latter is rank one, g>3 . We prove this below for g>5 . Another interpretation of this theorem…
Intersection theory on M̄1,4 and elliptic Gromov-Witten invariants

We find a new relation among codimension 2 algebraic cycles in the moduli space M1,4, and use this to calculate the elliptic Gromov-Witten invariants of projective spaces CP and CP.…

We develop the deformation theory of cohomological field theories (CohFTs), which is done as a special case of a general deformation theory of morphisms of modular operads. This leads us to introduce…

Abstract:We study the contribution of one-loop graphs (the semi-classical expansion) problem in the setting of modular operads. As an application, we calculate the Betti numbers of the…

This paper shows that generalizations of operads equipped with their respective bar/cobar dualities are related by a six operations formalism analogous to that of classical contexts in algebraic…
