Abstract: While there is much work and many conjectures surrounding the intersection theory of the moduli space of curves, relatively little is known about the intersection theory of the Hurwitz space mathcalHk,g parametrizing smooth degree k, genus g covers of mathbbP1. Let k=3,4,5. We prove that the rational Chow rings of mathcalHk,g stabilize in a suitable sense as g tends to infinity. In the case k=3, we completely determine the Chow rings for all g. We also prove that the rational Chow groups of the simply branched Hurwitz space mathcalHk,gssubsetmathcalHk,g are zero in codimension up to roughly g/k. In subsequent work, results developed in this paper are used to prove that the Chow rings of mathcalM7,mathcalM8, and mathcalM9 are tautological.
