The Pixton completeness conjecture in rational Chow asserts that all tautological relations on the moduli space of stable
curves arise from Pixton's original graph-formula relation span. Let be the realization map from the strata algebra to the
rational Chow ring and let
be this span. The assertion is
for every stable pair .
The span already includes relations placed at vertices of outer stable graphs, multiplied
by arbitrary strata classes at other vertices, and glued. It is an ideal stable under
the stated gluing and forgetting operations.
