Abstract: The open subvariety $overline{M}_g^{leqk}$ of $overline{M}_g$ parametrizes stable curves of genus $g$ having at most $k$ rational components. By the work of Looijenga, one expects that the cohomological excess of $overline{M}_g^{leqk}$ is at most $g-1+k$. In this paper we show that when $k=0$, the conjectured upper bound is sharp by showing that there is a constructible sheaf on $overline{H}_g^{leqk}$ (the hyperelliptic locus) which has non-vanishing cohomology in degree $3g-2$.
