Jan 29, 2018 at 9:14 comment added issoroloap @DanPetersen, yes, I have the same feeling. For instance, imagine you want to define a sort of "compact type COhFT" replacing the loop axiom with the fact that the classes vanish on $\delta_{irr}$. Then the natural modification of the Givental group simply sums over stable trees instead of any stable graph. This action commutes with multiplying by "\lambda_g", so you can't get out of that ideal. This is how I got to asking this question.

Jan 29, 2018 at 6:14 comment added Dan Petersen At one point Hain and Looijenga conjectured that the ideal inside $R^\bullet(\overline M_{g,n})$ consisting of classes restricting trivially to the Deligne-Mumford boundary is principal, generated by $\lambda_g\lambda_{g-1}$. But it's not clear to me if this conjecture should be believed, this was part of a proposed generalization of the Faber conjecture. The analogue of this conjecture for "compact type" would be that the ideal of tautological classes restricting trivially to $\delta_{irr}$ is generated by $\lambda_g$; again, it's not clear if this should be believed.
Jan 29, 2018 at 3:25 comment added Jason Starr Since cohomology is contravariant, did you intend to write $i^*$ in the opposite direction in your title and on Line 5? Also, since the "Satake contraction" of $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ has positive-dimensional fibers on the image of $i$, you can produce elements in the kernel of the (contravariant) map $i^*$ by pulling back classes of cohomological degree $2(3g-4)$ by the Satake compactification, e.g., an appropriate power of $\lambda_1$. Is there reason to believe those classes are in the ideal generated by $\lambda_g$?
