Abstract: The stack \(\mathcal{H}_{g,w}\) of hyperelliptic Weierstrass points is a degree \(2g+2\) etale cover of the stack \(\mathcal{H}_g\) of hyperelliptic curves. The integral Chow rings of \(\mathcal{H}_g\) and \(\mathcal{H}_{g,1}\) we previously calculated, and in this talk we explain how to calculate the Chow ring of \(\mathcal{H}_{g,w}\) using a presentation for \(\mathcal{H}_{g,1}\) given by Pernice. This is joint work with Zhengning Hu.
