Combinatorics of compactified universal Jacobians

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We use orientations on stable graphs to express the combinatorial structure of the compactified universal Jacobians in degrees g-1 and g over the moduli space of stable curves, Mgb, and construct for them graded stratifications compatible with the one of Mgb. In particular, for a stable curve we exhibit graded stratifications of the compactified Jacobians in terms of totally cyclic, respectively rooted, orientations on subgraphs of its dual graph.


This article deals with the combinatorial structure of the compactified universal Jacobian over $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g}$, the compactified moduli space of smooth curves of genus $g\ge 2$, in degrees $g-1$ and $g$ and its relation with orientations of stable graphs. \par The first section, after a short introduction, recalls the basics of graph theory needed in the following. \newline The second one studies the functorial behaviour of generalized orientations of graphs with respect to edge-contraction, proving, in particular, the functoriality of the posets of totally cyclic and rooted orientations on a stable graph. \newline Eventually, the last section applies the graph-theoretic results to the algebro-geometric setting, exhibiting, in particular, a graded stratification of the compactified Jacobian of degree $g-1$ (respectively $g$) of a stable curve of genus $g$ in terms of totally cyclic (resp. rooted) orientations on the dual graph of the curve.
