# Chow Ring of Moduli Space of Abelian Varieties

Is there a good reference for the structure of the Chow ring of $\mathcal{A}_g$, the moduli space of complex principally polarized abelian varieties? More generally, references for the intersection theory, enumerative geometry, and vector bundles on $\mathcal{A}_g$ would be nice.

i would think faltings and chai would be a good place to start... i guess you've already looked at that and not found what you want? –  Max Flander Mar 27 '10 at 6:09
Isn't the point of F-C getting everything (and in particular the theory of compactifications of A_g) to work over Z? I think the questioner is more interested in questions over C; F-C might be a bit daunting with their 14-tuples of degeneration data... –  Kevin Buzzard Mar 27 '10 at 7:27
Yes, I'm interested in things over $\mathbb{C}$, so Faltings-Chai is a bit terrifying to me. –  Charles Siegel Mar 27 '10 at 13:33

Van der Geer has written a paper computing what he calls the tautological subring of the chow ring of $\mathcal{A}_g$. He also computes the tautological ring for a smooth toroidal compactification.

Regarding intersection theory, Erdenberger, Grushevsky, and Hulek have been working on this for the toroidal compactifications, mostly for small values of $g$. For example, see the following references.
