On the Geometry of the Moduli Space of Spin Curves

چکیده
We determine the smooth locus and the locus of canonical singularities in the Cornalba compactification Sg of the moduli space Sg of spin curves, i.e., smooth curves of genus g with a theta characteristic. Moreover, the following lifting result for pluricanonical forms is proved: Every pluricanonical form on the smooth locus of Sg extends holomorphically to a desingularisation of Sg.

Brill-noether Geometry on Moduli Spaces of Spin Curves
The aim of this paper is to initiate a study of geometric divisors of Brill-Noether type on the moduli space Sg of spin curves of genus g. The moduli space Sg is a compactification the parameter space Sg of pairs [C, η], consisting of a smooth genus g curve C and a theta-characteristic η ∈ Pic(C), see [C]. The study of the birational properties of Sg as well as other moduli spaces of curves wit...
متن کاملCombinatorial properties of stable spin curves
The first part of this paper describes the moduli space of stable spin curves (constructed in [Cor89]), explaining how its geometry is governed by the combinatorics of stable curves. In this context, the standard graph theoretic framework (where to every stable curve one associates its “dual graph”) is not just a book-keeping device: in Section 2, some purely combinatorial results are proved (T...
متن کاملEnriched Spin Curves on Stable Curves with Two Components
In [M], Mainò constructed a moduli space for enriched stable curves, by blowing-up the moduli space of Deligne-Mumford stable curves. We introduce enriched spin curves, showing that a parameter space for these objects is obtained by blowing-up the moduli space of spin curves.
متن کاملGeometry of the Moduli of Higher Spin Curves: Irreducibility and Picard Group
This article treats various aspects of the geometry of the moduli Sgr of r-spin curves and its compactification Sgr. Generalized spin curves, or r-spin curves, are pairs (X, L) with X a smooth curve and L a line bundle whose r tensor power is isomorphic to the canonical bundle of X. These are a natural generalization of 2-spin curves (algebraic curves with a thetacharacteristic), which have bee...
متن کاملOn the Geometry Of
We investigate topological properties of the moduli space of spin structures over genus two curves. In particular, we provide a combinatorial description of this space and give a presentation of the (rational) cohomology ring via generators and relations.
