Stability in the Chow rings of Hurwitz spaces

Abstract:

Hurwitz spaces parametrize finite covers of the projective line by curves of genus g. We show that the Chow rings of Hurwitz spaces of low degree covers exhibit interesting stabilization properties as g goes to infinity. We also consider applications to the moduli space of curves. This is joint work with Hannah Larson.
