Intersections of $\omega$ classes in ${\overline{\mathcal{M}}}_{g,n}$

Abstract

We provide a graph formula which describes an arbitrary monomial in ω classes (also referred to as stable ψ classes) in terms of a simple family of dual graphs (pinwheel graphs) with edges decorated by rational functions in ψ classes. We deduce some numerical consequences and in particular a combinatorial formula expressing top intersections of \k{appa} classes on Mg in terms of top intersections of ψ classes.
