On complete curves in moduli space I
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
Let g denote the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces of genus g > 3. It is known that
g is a non-complete quasi-projective variety that contains many complete curves. This is because the Satake compactification
g of
g is projective and the boundary
\
has co-dimension 2; thus by intersecting
with hypersurfaces in sufficiently general position one obtains a complete curve in
g passing through any given set of points [8].
