The main result is about the intersection of the $p$-rank $0$ stratum with the boundary of the moduli space of curves. When $\\ell=3$ and $p \\equiv 2 \\bmod 3$ is an odd prime, we prove that there exists a smooth trielliptic curve in characteristic $p$, with every genus $g$, signature type $(r,s)$ and $p$-rank $f$ satisfying the clear necessary conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-12T11:49:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G20", "14D20", "14H10", "14H40", "11G10", "14H30", "14H37", "14K10" ], "keywords": [ "moduli space", "projective line", "cyclic covers", "clear necessary conditions", "smooth trielliptic curve" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
