In this paper, we study the basic structures of degree- g g topological recursion relations on the moduli space of curves M ¯ g, n {M}₆, ₍: (i) the coefficient of the bouquet class on M ¯ g, n {M}₆, ₍, which gives the answer to a conjecture of T. Kimura and X. Liu Comm. Math. Phys. 262 (2006), pp. 645–661; (ii) linear relations among the coefficients of certain rational tails locus of M ¯ g, n {M}₆, ₍. Three applications of topological recursion relations will be discussed: (i) coefficients of universal equations for Gromov–Witten invariants for any smooth projective variety; (ii) the coefficient of the bouquet class in the double ramification formula of the top Hodge class λ g g ; (iii) a new recursive formula for computing the intersection numbers on the moduli space of stable curves.
Janda et al. (2025) studied this question.
