kappa -- Miller-Morita-Mumford classes

Synopsis

Description

This is an element in the ring created by hodgeRing. It is the Miller-Morita-Mumford class discussed in [AC].

Here is a simple example which calculates $\int_{{\bar M}_{1,1}} k_1$.

i1 : R = hodgeRing (1, 1);
i2 : kappa_1

o2 = kappa
          1

o2 : R
i3 : integral(1, 1, kappa_1)
