Abstract
Gromov-Witten theory is a natural source of cohomology classes on the moduli space of curves. I will explain a speculation, going back to Levine and Pandharipande, that the classes produced by Gromov-Witten theory lie in a surprisingly small part of cohomology: the tautological subring. I will explain how logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory can be used to approach this speculation, and try to share some of the subtleties involved in this approach. Based on recent and ongoing work with Davesh Maulik.
