A method of constructing Cohomological Field Theories (CohFTs) with unit using minimal classes on the moduli spaces of curves is developed. As a simple consequence, CohFTs with unit are found which take values outside of the tautological cohomology of the moduli spaces of curves. A study of minimal classes in low genus is presented in the Appendix by D. Petersen.

We develop the deformation theory of cohomological field theories (CohFTs), which is done as a special case of a general deformation theory of morphisms of modular operads. This leads us to introduce two new natural extensions of the notion of a CohFT: homotopical (necessary to structure chain-level Gromov--Witten invariants) and quantum (with examples found in the works of Buryak--Rossi on integrable systems). We introduce a new version of Kontsevichs graph complex, enriched with tautological classes on the moduli spaces of stable curves. We use it to study a new universal deformation group which acts naturally on the moduli spaces of quantum homotopy CohFTs, by methods due to Merkulov--Willwacher. This group is shown to contain both the prounipotent Grothendieck--Teichmuller group and the Givental group.
In his 2011 paper, Teleman proved that a cohomological field theory on the moduli space $overline{mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of stable complex curves is uniquely determined by its restriction to the smooth part $mathcal{M}_{g,n}$, provided that the underlying Frobenius algebra is semisimple. This leads to a classification of all semisimple cohomological field theories. The present paper, the outcome of the authors masters thesis, presents Telemans proof following his original paper. The author claims no originality: the main motivation has been to keep the exposition as complete and self-contained as possible.
This note is an erratum to the paper Tautological classes on moduli spaces of hyper-Kahler manifolds. Thorsten Beckman and Mirko Mauri have pointed to us a gap in the proof of cite[Theorem 8.2.1]{Duke}. We do not know how to correct the proof. We can only recover a partial statement. This gap affects the proof of one of the two main results of cite{Duke}, we explain how to correct it.
In this paper, we discuss the cycle theory on moduli spaces $cF_h$ of $h$-polarized hyperkahler manifolds. Firstly, we construct the tautological ring on $cF_h$ following the work of Marian, Oprea and Pandharipande on the tautological conjecture on moduli spaces of K3 surfaces. We study the tautological classes in cohomology groups and prove that most of them are linear combinations of Noether-Lefschetz cycle classes. In particular, we prove the cohomological version of the tautological conjecture on moduli space of K3$^{[n]}$-type hyperkahler manifolds with $nleq 2$. Secondly, we prove the cohomological generalized Franchetta conjecture on universal family of these hyperkahler manifolds.
We introduce and study several new topological operads that should be regarded as nonsymmetric analogues of the operads of little 2-disks, framed little 2-disks, and Deligne-Mumford compactifications of moduli spaces of genus zero curves with marked points. These operads exhibit all the remarkable algebraic and geometric features that their classical analogues possess; in particular, it is possible to define a noncommutative analogue of the notion of cohomological field theory with similar Givental-type symmetries. This relies on rich geometry of the analogues of the Deligne-Mumford spaces, coming from the fact that they admit several equivalent interpretations: as the toric varieties of Lodays realisations of the associahedra, as the brick manifolds recently defined by Escobar, and as the De Concini-Procesi wonderful models for certain subspace arrangements.
