Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

G. van der Geer, Cycles on the Moduli Space of Abelian Varieties, in "Moduli of Curves and Abelian Varieties (The Dutch Intercity Seminar on Moduli)", p. 65-89 (Carel Faber and Eduard Looijenga, editors), Aspects of Mathematics, Vieweg, Wiesbaden 1999.

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.
