A counterexample to Pixton completeness in Chow

Claimed, not checked 1 paper September 24, 2026
What the paper claims, in its own words

Constructs a tautological relation on a moduli space of stable pointed curves that vanishes in rational Chow, hence in rational cohomology, but lies outside Pixton's original relation span. This disproves the Chow and rational-cohomological forms of his original completeness conjecture.
