The $S_n$-equivariant rational homology of the tropical moduli spaces $\Delta_{2,n}$

Abstract: The tropical moduli space $\Delta_{g,n}$ is a topological space that parametrizes isomorphism classes of $n$-marked stable tropical curves of genus $g$ with total volume 1. Its reduced rational homology has a natural structure of $S_n$-representations induced by permuting markings. In this talk, we focus on $\Delta_{2,n}$ and compute the characters of these $S_n$-representations for $n$ up to 8. We use the fact that $\Delta_{2,n}$ is a symmetric $\Delta$-complex, a concept introduced by Chan, Glatius, and Payne. The computation is done in SageMath.
