Classification of Genus 3 Curves in Special Strata of the Moduli Space

چکیده
We describe the invariants of plane quartic curves — nonhyperelliptic genus 3 curves in their canonical model — as determined by Dixmier and Ohno, with application to the classification of curves with given structure. In particular, we determine modular equations for the strata in the moduli spaceM3 of plane quartics which have at least seven hyperflexes, and obtain an computational characterization of curves in these strata.

Non-hyperelliptic curves of genus three over finite fields of characteristic two
Let k be a finite field of even characteristic. We obtain in this paper a complete classification, up to k-isomorphism, of non singular quartic plane curves defined over k. We find explicit rational normal models and we give closed formulas for the total number of k-isomorphism classes. We deduce from these computations the number of k-rational points of the different strata by the Newton polyg...
متن کاملStrata of Abelian Differentials and the Teichmüller Dynamics
This paper focuses on the interplay between the intersection theory and the Teichmüller dynamics on the moduli space of curves. As applications, we study the cycle class of strata of the Hodge bundle, present an algebraic method to calculate the class of the divisor parameterizing abelian differentials with a non-simple zero, and verify a number of extremal effective divisors on the moduli spac...
متن کاملQuadratic Differentials in Low Genus: Exceptional and Non-varying Strata
We give an algebraic way of distinguishing the components of the exceptional strata of quadratic differentials in genus three and four. The complete list of these strata is (9,−1), (6, 3,−1), (3, 3, 3,−1) in genus three and (12), (9, 3), (6, 6), (6, 3, 3) and (3, 3, 3, 3) in genus four. The upshot of our method is a detailed study regarding the geometry of canonical curves. This result is part ...
متن کاملLoci of Curves with Subcanonical Points in Low Genus
Inside the moduli space of curves of genus three with one marked point, we consider the locus of hyperelliptic curves with a marked Weierstrass point, and the locus of nonhyperelliptic curves with a marked hyperflex. These loci have codimension two. We compute the classes of their closures in the moduli space of stable curves of genus three with one marked point. Similarly, we compute the class...
متن کاملRelative Virtual Localization and Vanishing of Tautological Classes on Moduli Spaces of Curves
We prove a localization formula for the moduli space of stable relative maps. As an application, we prove that all codimension i tautological classes on the moduli space of stable pointed curves vanish away from strata corresponding to curves with at least i− g + 1 genus 0 components. As consequences, we prove and generalize various conjectures and theorems about various moduli spaces of curves...
