Filtrations of moduli spaces of tropical weighted stable curves (Q6041140)

Summary: We consider tropical versions of Hassett's moduli spaces of weighted stable curves \(M^{\mathrm{trop}}_{g,\mathcal{A}}\), \(\overline{M}^{\mathrm{trop}}_{g,\mathcal{A}}\) and \(\Delta_{g,\mathcal{A}}\) associated to a weight datum \(\mathcal{A} = (a_1, \ldots, a_n) \in (\mathbb{Q}\cap (0, 1])^n\), their associated graph complexes \(G^{(g,\mathcal{A})}\), and study the topology of these spaces as \(\mathcal{A}\) changes. We show that for fixed \(g\) and \(n\), there are particular filtrations of these topological spaces and their graph complexes which may be used to compute the reduced rational homology of \(\Delta_{g,\mathcal{A}}\) and the top weight cohomology of the moduli space \(\mathcal{M}_{g,\mathcal{A}}\) of smooth \((g, \mathcal{A})\)-stable algebraic curves.
