Hodge-type integrals on moduli spaces of admissible covers

Abstract

In this paper we study a natural class of intersection numbers on moduli spaces of degree d admissible covers from genus g curves to P1, using techniques of localization. These intersection numbers involve tautological λ and ψ classes, and are in some sense analogous to Hodge Integrals on moduli spaces of stable curves.

We compute explicitly these numbers for all genera in degrees 2 and 3 and express the result in generating function form; we provide a conjecture for the general degree d case.
