Extremality of Loci of Hyperelliptic Curves with Marked Weierstrass Points

چکیده
Abstract. The locus of genus-two curves with n marked Weierstrass points has codimension n inside the moduli space of genus-two curves with n marked points, for n ≤ 6. It is well known that the class of the closure of the divisor obtained for n = 1 spans an extremal ray of the cone of effective divisor classes. We generalize this result for all n: we show that the class of the closure of the locus of genustwo curves with n marked Weierstrass points spans an extremal ray of the cone of effective classes of codimension n, for n ≤ 6. A related construction produces extremal nef curve classes in moduli spaces of pointed elliptic curves.

Loci 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...

We give a explicit computation of the pointed harmonic volumes of hyperelliptic curves with Weierstrass base points, which are paraphrased into a combinatorial formula.
متن کاملThe average size of the 2-Selmer group of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves having a rational Weierstrass point
We prove that when all hyperelliptic curves of genus n ≥ 1 having a rational Weierstrass point are ordered by height, the average size of the 2-Selmer group of their Jacobians is equal to 3. It follows that (the limsup of) the average rank of the Mordell-Weil group of their Jacobians is at most 3/2. The method of Chabauty can then be used to obtain an effective bound on the number of rational p...
متن کاملExtremal Higher Codimension Cycles on Moduli Spaces of Curves
We show that certain geometrically defined higher codimension cycles are extremal in the effective cone of the moduli spaceMg,n of stable genus g curves with n ordered marked points. In particular, we prove that codimension two boundary strata are extremal and exhibit extremal boundary strata of higher codimension. We also show that the locus of hyperelliptic curves with a marked Weierstrass po...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Two Generator Groups: Hyperelliptic Handlebodies
A Kleinian group naturally stabilizes certain subdomains and closed subsets of the closure of hyperbolic three space and yields a number of different quotient surfaces and manifolds. Some of these quotients have conformal structures and others hyperbolic structures. For two generator free Fuchsian groups, the quotient three manifold is a genus two solid handlebody and its boundary is a hyperell...
