Abstract: The tautological relation of moduli space of curves is a
classical and important topic in algebraic geometry. Recently,
Pandharipande, Pixton and Zvonkine proved a very general class of
tautological relations by studying the shifted Witten class near the
discriminant. Pixton further conjectured that these are all the
relations.
In
this talk I will introduce a new approach to obtaining tautological
relations on $\overline{M}_{g,n}$ by using the (quasi)modularity of the
shifted FJRW CohFT of $x^3+y^3+z^3$. Whether these tautological
relations are different from Pixton’s relations is unknown. This is
based on my work in progress.
