Integrating simple genus two string invariants over moduli space

Abstract

We consider an Sp(4,Z) invariant expression involving two factors of the Kawazumi--Zhang (KZ) invariant each of which is a modular graph with one link, and four derivatives on the moduli space of genus two Riemann surfaces. Manipulating it, we show that the integral over moduli space of a linear combination of a modular graph with two links and the square of the KZ invariant reduces to a boundary integral. We also consider an Sp(4,Z) invariant expression involving three factors of the KZ invariant and six derivatives on moduli space, from which we deduce that the integral over moduli space of a modular graph with three links reduces to a boundary integral. In both cases, the boundary term is completely determined by the KZ invariant. We show that both the integrals vanish.
