Relations for quadratic Hodge integrals via stable maps

Abstract

Following Faber-Pandharipande, we use the virtual localization formula for the moduli space of stable maps to ${\mathbb{P}}^1$ to compute relations between Hodge integrals. We prove that certain generating series of these integrals are polynomials.
