Abstract
We define and study a natural system of tautological rings on the moduli spaces of marked curves at the level of differential forms. We show that certain 2-forms obtained from the natural normal functions on these moduli spaces are tautological. Also we show that rings of tautological forms are always finite dimensional. Finally we characterize the Kawazumi–Zhang invariant as essentially the only smooth function on the moduli space of curves whose Levi form is a tautological form.
期刊介绍：
Our aim is to publish papers of interest to a wide mathematical audience. Our main interest is in expository articles that make high-level research results more widely accessible. In general, material submitted should be at least at the graduate level.Main articles must be written in such a way that a graduate-level research student interested in the topic of the paper can read them profitably. When the topic is quite specialized, or the main focus is a narrow research result, the paper is probably not appropriate for this journal. Most original research articles are not suitable for this journal, unless they have particularly broad appeal.Mathematical notes can be more focused than main articles. These should not simply be short research articles, but should address a mathematical question with reasonably broad appeal. Elementary solutions of elementary problems are typically not appropriate. Neither are overly technical papers, which should best be submitted to a specialized research journal.Clarity of exposition, accuracy of details and the relevance and interest of the subject matter will be the decisive factors in our acceptance of an article for publication. Submitted papers are subject to a quick overview before entering into a more detailed review process. All published papers have been refereed.
