After recalling the various tautological algebras of the moduli space of curves and some of its partial compactifications and stating several well-known results and conjectures concerning these algebras, we prove that the natural extension to the case of pointed curves of a 1996 conjecture of Hain and Looijenga is true if and only if two of the stated conjectures are true.

We present algebraic and geometric arguments that give a complete classification of the rational normal scrolls that are hyperplane section of a given rational normal scrolls.
A classical question asks whether the Abel-Jacobi map is universal among all regular homomorphisms. In this paper, we prove that we can construct a $4$-fold which gives the negative answer in codimension $3$ if the generalized Bloch conjecture holds for a $3$-fold constructed by Colliot-Thel`ene and Voisin in the context of the study of the defect of the integral Hodge conjecture in degree $4$.
Let $C$ be an irreducible, reduced, non-degenerate curve, of arithmetic genus $g$ and degree $d$, in the projective space $mathbf P^4$ over the complex field. Assume that $C$ satisfies the following {it flag condition of type $(s,t)$}: {$C$ does not lie on any surface of degree $<s$, and on any hypersurface of degree $<t$}. Improving previous results, in the present paper we exhibit a Castelnuovo-Halphen type bound for $g$, under the assumption $sleq t^2-t$ and $dgg t$. In the range $t^2-2t+3leq sleq t^2-t$, $dgg t$, we are able to give some information on the extremal curves. They are arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay curves, and lie on a flag like $Ssubset F$, where $S$ is a surface of degree $s$, $F$ a hypersurface of degree $t$, $S$ is unique, and its general hyperplane section is a space extremal curve, not contained in any surface of degree $<t$. In the case $dequiv 0$ (modulo $s$), they are exactly the complete intersections of a surface $S$ as above, with a hypersurface. As a consequence of previous results, we get a bound for the speciality index of a curve satisfying a flag condition.
We improve a result of Prokhorov and Shramov on the rank of finite $p$-subgroups of the birational automorphism group of a rationally connected variety. Known examples show that they are sharp in many cases.
We prove a Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg decomposition theorem for smooth proper schemes $X$ in characteristic $p$ when $dim Xleq p$. The best known previous result of this kind, due to Yekutieli, required $dim X<p$. Yekutielis result follows from the observation that the denominators appearing in the classical proof of HKR do not divide $p$ when $dim X<p$. Our extension to $dim X=p$ requires a homological fact: the Hochschild homology of a smooth proper scheme is self-dual.
