Boundary expression for Chern classes of the Hodge bundle on spaces of cyclic covers

Bryson Owens, Seamus Somerstep and Renzo Cavalieri

Vol. 14 (2021), No. 4, 571–594
Abstract

We compute an explicit formula for the first Chern class of the Hodge bundle over the space of admissible μ3-covers of n-pointed rational stable curves as a linear combination of boundary strata. We then apply this formula to give a recursive formula for calculating certain families of Hodge integrals containing λ1. We also consider covers with a μ2-action for which we compute λ2 as a linear combination of codimension-2 boundary strata.
