On the Varieties Parametrizing Trigonal Curves with Assigned Weierstrass Points
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the varieties that parametrize trigonal curves with assigned Weierstrass points; we prove that they are irreducible and compute their dimensions. To do so, we stratify the moduli space of all trigonal curves with given Maroni invariant.

Abelian Functions for Purely Trigonal Curves of Genus Three
We develop the theory of generalized Weierstrass σ and ℘ functions defined on a trigonal curve of genus three. The specific example of the “purely trigonal”curve y = x +λ3x 3 +λ2x 2 +λ1x+λ0 is discussed in detail, including a list of the associated partial differential equations satisfied by the ℘ functions, and the derivation of two addition formulae.
متن کاملAbelian Functions for Cyclic Trigonal Curves of Genus Four
We discuss the theory of generalized Weierstrass σ and ℘ functions defined on a trigonal curve of genus four, following earlier work on the genus three case. The specific example of the “purely trigonal” (or “cyclic trigonal”) curve y = x + λ4x 4 + λ3x 3 + λ2x 2 + λ1x+ λ0 is discussed in detail, including a list of some of the associated partial differential equations satisfied by the ℘ functio...
متن کاملThe group of Weierstrass points of a plane quartic with at least eight hyperflexes
The group generated by the Weierstrass points of a smooth curve in its Jacobian is an intrinsic invariant of the curve. We determine this group for all smooth quartics with eight hyperflexes or more. Since Weierstrass points are closely related to moduli spaces of curves, as an application, we get bounds on both the rank and the torsion part of this group for a generic quartic having a fixed nu...
متن کامل2 00 5 Level structures on the Weierstrass family of cubics
Let W → A be the universal Weierstrass family of cubic curves over C. For each N ≥ 2, we construct surfaces parametrizing the three standard kinds of level N structures on the smooth fibers of W . We then complete these surfaces to finite covers of A. Since W → A is the versal deformation space of a cusp singularity, these surfaces convey information about the level structure on any family of c...
