Abstract
We determine the generating function for the Sn-equivariant Chow polynomials of the braid matroid Bn, using a modular interpretation of this polynomial recently given by Devkota, Robotis, and Zahariuc. We also give a new modular interpretation of the numerical Chow polynomial of Bn in terms of a certain moduli space of genus-zero relative stable maps to P1.
