On the noncommutative rigidity of the moduli stack of stable pointed   curves
  We investigate the second Hochschild cohomology of $ \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n} $, the moduli stack of stable $n$-pointed genus $g$ curves. For the cases when $g = 0$, we prove that the second Hochschild cohomology vanishes if and only if $n \neq 5$. For the cases $g > 0$, assuming a conjectural HKR isomorphism for smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks, we prove the vanishing for all $( g, n )$ except possibly for the 8 cases $   ( g, n ) = ( 4, 0 ),   ( 3, 1 ), ( 3, 0 ),   ( 2, 2 ), ( 2, 1 ), ( 2 , 0 ),   ( 1, 3 ), ( 1, 2 ) $.
