Hurwitz-Hodge Integrals, the E6 and D4 root systems, and the Crepant Resolution Conjecture

Let G be the group A_4 or Z_2xZ_2. We compute the integral of \lambda_g on the Hurwitz locus H_G\subset M_g of curves admitting a degree 4 cover of P^1 having monodromy group G. We compute the generating functions for these integrals and write them as a trigonometric expression summed over the positive roots of the E_6 and D_4 root systems respectively. As an application, we prove the Crepant Resolution Conjecture for the orbifolds [C^3/A_4] and [C^3/(Z_2xZ_2)].
