Families, moduli of curves (algebraic) (14H10)

Abstract: For $gge2$ and $nge0$, let $mathcal{H}_{g,n}subsetmathcal{M}_{g,n}$ denote the complex moduli stack of $n$-marked smooth hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$. A normal crossings compactification of this space is provided by the theory of pointed admissible $mathbbZ/2mathbbZ$-covers. We explicitly determine the resulting dual complex, and we use this to define a graph complex which computes the weight zero compactly supported cohomology of $mathcal{H}_{g,n}$. Using this graph complex, we give a sum-over-graphs formula for the $S_n$-equivariant weight zero compactly supported Euler characteristic of $mathcal{H}_{g,n}$. This formula allows for the computer-aided calculation, for each $gle7$, of the generating function $mathsf{h}_g$ for these equivariant Euler characteristics for all $n$. More generally, we determine the dual complex of the boundary in any moduli space of pointed admissible $G$-covers of genus zero curves, when $G$ is abelian, as a symmetric $Delta$-complex. We use these complexes to generalize our formula for $mathsf{h}_g$ to moduli spaces of $n$-pointed smooth abelian covers of genus zero curves.
