Permutohedral spaces and the Cox ring of the moduli space of stable pointed rational curves (Q1938033): Difference between revisions

This paper under review studies the Cox ring of the moduli space of stable pointed rational curves \(\overline{M}_{0,n}\) via the closely related permutohedral (or Losev-Manin) space \(\overline{L}_{n-2}\) (there are \(n\choose 2\) of them according to the choice of poles). The main result is that for each choice of poles, the Kapranov morphism \[ f:\overline{M}_{0,n}\longrightarrow \overline{L}_{n-2} \] induces an embedding of \(\mathrm{Cox}(\overline{L}_{n-2})\) into \(\mathrm{Cox}(\overline{M}_{0,n})\) as a polynomial subring, thus giving collections of boundary divisors that do not have relations in \(\mathrm{Cox}(\overline{M}_{0,n})\). As an application, the author show that all relations in degrees of \(\mathrm{Cox}(\overline{M}_{0,6})\) arising from certain pull-backs from projective spaces are generated by the Plücker relations.
