The Aluffi-Chen-Marcolli Real-Rootedness Conjecture

Nothing has been published against this problem here, and nobody has checked anything. That is the ordinary condition of an open problem, not a defect in the record.

1 attempt · no person has looked

Statement

Aluffi, Chen and Marcolli conjectured that the Poincare polynomial of the Deligne-Mumford moduli space M0,n\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n} of stable nn-pointed rational curves has only real roots. True, with simple roots and strict interlacing between consecutive nn.

Context

A named conjecture about the topology of the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces, objects at the foundation of modern enumerative geometry.
