Supersymmetry and cohomology of graph complexes. (English) Zbl 1410.14035

Summary: I describe a combinatorial construction of the cohomology classes in compactified moduli spaces of curves \(\widehat{Z}_{I}\in H^{*}\left(\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}\right)\) starting from the following data: \(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\)-graded finite-dimensional associative algebra equipped with odd scalar product and an odd compatible derivation \(I\), whose square is nonzero in general, \(I^{2}\neq0\). As a byproduct I obtain a new combinatorial formula for products of \(\psi\)-classes, \(\psi_{i}=c_{1}\left(T_{p_{i}}^{*}\right)\), in the cohomology \(H^{*}\left(\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}\right)\).
