This requires the construction of a related space which has a choice of basis for the Klein four group. This space has the interesting property that the two components intersect along a component of the boundary. Further, we carry out a detailed analysis of the boundary, determining components, degrees of the components over their images in $\\overline{\\mathcal{M}_g}$, and computing the canonical divisor of $\\overline{{V}_4\\mathcal{M}_{g}}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-14T02:51:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14H10", "14H30" ], "keywords": [ "klein covers", "natural compactification", "components intersect", "moduli space", "construction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1407.3530S" } } }
