The authors' main claim As a result we prove that (8g+4)\lambda is equal, up to a constant, to the \beta-invariant introduced some time ago by R. Hain and D. Reed.

We compute the second variation of the \lambda-invariant, recently introduced by S. Zhang, on the complex moduli space M_g of curves of genus g>1, using work of N. Kawazumi. As a result we prove that (8g+4)\lambda is equal, up to a constant, to the \beta-invariant introduced some time ago by R. Hain and D. Reed. We deduce some consequences; for example we calculate the \lambda-invariant for each hyperelliptic curve, expressing it in terms of the Petersson norm of the discriminant modular form.

It follows rather directly from [ref] (archimedean case) and [ref] (non-archimedean case) that Conjecture [ref] is in fact true.
