Denote by Mg(G) the subset of Mg of curves δ such that G (as a finite nontrivial group) is isomorphic to a subgroup of Aut(δ) and let Mg(G)˜ be the subset of curves δ such that G≅Aut(δ),...

Sumario:Let Mg be the moduli space of smooth, genus g curves over an algebraically closed field K of zero characteristic. Denote by Mg(G) the subset of Mg of curves δ such that G (as a finite nontrivial group) is isomorphic to a subgroup of Aut(δ) and let Mg(G)˜ be the subset of curves δ such that G≅Aut(δ), where Aut(δ) is the full automorphism group of δ. Now, for an integer d≥4, let MPlg be the subset of Mg representing smooth, genus g curves that admit a non-singular plane model of degree d (in this case, g = (d-1)(d-2)/2) and consider the sets MPlg(G):= MPlg∩Mg(G) and MPlg(G)˜:= Mg(G)˜∩MPlg. In this paper we first determine, for an arbitrary but a fixed degree d, an algorithm to list the possible values m for which MPlg(Z/m) is non-empty, where Z/m denotes the cyclic group of order m. In particular, we prove that m should divide one of the integers: d-1, d, d2-3d+3, (d-1)2, d(d-2) or d(d-1). Secondly, consider a curve δ∈MPlg with g = (d-1)(d-2)/2 such that Aut(δ) has an element of "very large" order, in the sense that this element is of order d2-3d+3, (d-1)2, d(d-2) or d(d-1). Then we investigate the groups G for which δ∈MPlg(G)˜ and also we determine the locus MPlg(G)˜ in these situations. Moreover, we work with the same question when Aut(δ) has an element of "large" order: ℓd, ℓ(d-1) or ℓ(d-2) with ℓ≥2 an integer.
