The stable cohomology of the Satake compactification of $\mathcal{A}_g$

Jiaming Chen and Eduard Looijenga

Geometry & Topology 21 (2017) 2231–2241
Abstract

Charney and Lee have shown that the rational cohomology of the Satake–Baily–Borel compactification Agbb of Ag stabilizes as g and they computed this stable cohomology as a Hopf algebra. We give a relatively simple algebrogeometric proof of their theorem and show that this stable cohomology comes with a mixed Hodge structure of which we determine the Hodge numbers. We find that the mixed Hodge structure on the primitive cohomology in degrees 4r + 2 with r 1 is an extension of (2r 1) by (0); in particular, it is not pure.
