Relations in the tautological ring of the moduli space of \(K3\) surfaces (Q2302425)

The paper under review deals with the interplay of the moduli of curves and the moduli of \(K3\) surfaces via the virtual class of the moduli spaces of stable maps. Using Getzler's relation for \(\overline{\mathrm{M}}_{1,4}\) [\textit{E. Getzler}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 10, No. 4, 973--998 (1997; Zbl 0909.14002)], the authors construct a universal decomposition of the diagonal in Chow in the third fiber product of the universal \(K3\) surface. This decomposition together with the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde relation in genus 0 is used to prove a conjecture of Marian-Oprea-Pandharipande [\textit{A. Marian} et al., Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 50, No. 1, 239--267 (2017; Zbl 1453.14016)]: the full tautological ring of the moduli space of \(K3\) surfaces is generated in Chow by the classes of the Noether-Lefschetz loci. Furthermore the authors propose a connection between relations in the tautological ring of the moduli spaces of curves and relations in the tautological ring of the moduli space of \(K3\) surfaces.
