Point counts and the cohomology of moduli spaces of curves

n this thesis we count the number of points defined over finite fields of certain moduli spaces of pointed curves. The aim is primarily to gain cohomological information. Paper I is joint work with Orsola Tommasi. Here we present details of the method of finding cohomological information on moduli s...
