Cohomology of moduli spaces via a result of Chenevier and Lannes

Jonas Bergström, Carel Faber

We use a classification result of Chenevier and Lannes for algebraic automorphic representations together with a conjectural correspondence with -adic absolute Galois represe…

Polynomial point counts and odd cohomology vanishing on moduli spaces of stable curves

Jonas Bergström, Carel Faber, Sam Payne

We compute the number of F_q-points on M_{4,n}, for n less than or equal to 3, and show that it is a polynomial in q, using a sieve based on Hasse-Weil zeta functions. As an applic…

Concomitants of Ternary Quartics and Vector-valued Siegel and Teichmüller Modular Forms of Genus Three

Fabien Cléry, Carel Faber, Gerard van der Geer

We show how one can use the representation theory of ternary quartics to construct all vector-valued Siegel modular forms and Teichmüller modular forms of degree 3. The relation be…

Fabien Cléry, Carel Faber, Gerard van der Geer

We use covariants of binary sextics to describe the structure of modules of scalar-valued or vector-valued Siegel modular forms of degree 2 with character, over the ring of scalar-…

Covariants of binary sextics and vector-valued Siegel modular forms of genus two

Fabien Cléry, Carel Faber, Gerard van der Geer

We extend Igusa's description of the relation between invariants of binary sextics and Siegel modular forms of degree two to a relation between covariants and vector-valued Siegel…

The class of the bielliptic locus in genus 3

Carel Faber, Nicola Pagani

Let the bielliptic locus be the closure in the moduli space of stable curves of the locus of smooth curves that are double covers of genus 1 curves. In this paper we compute the cl…

Limits of PGL(3)-translates of plane curves, II

Paolo Aluffi, Carel Faber

Every complex plane curve C determines a subscheme S of the of 3x3 matrices, whose projective normal cone (PNC) captures subtle invariants of C. In "Limits of PGL(3)-translat…

Tautological relations and the r-spin Witten conjecture

Carel Faber, Sergey Shadrin, Dimitri Zvonkine

In a series of two preprints, Y.-P. Lee studied relations satisfied by all formal Gromov-Witten potentials, as defined by A. Givental. He called them "universal relations" and stud…
