Precise statement
Aluffi, Chen and Marcolli conjectured that the Poincare polynomial of the Deligne-Mumford moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$ of stable $n$-pointed rational curves has only real roots. True, with simple roots and strict interlacing between consecutive $n$.
The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement
