The second rational homology group of the moduli space of curves with level structures
Abstract:- Let G be a finite-index subgroup of the mapping class group of a
closed genus g surface that contains the Torelli group. For instance,
G can be the level L subgroup or the spin mapping class group. We
show that H_2(G;Q) = Q for g > 4. A corollary of this is
that the rational Picard groups of the associated finite covers of the
moduli space of curves are equal to Q.
