A complete curve of genus 5 in the moduli space of curves of genus 3 and related questions
Abstract
Let M_3 be the coarse moduli space of smooth complex projective curves of genus 3. Through a general point of M_3, we construct a smooth complete curve of genus 21 and gonality 7, and a singular complete curve whose normalization has genus 19 and gonality 6. We also construct a Hodge-generic complete trigonal curve of geometric genus 5 in M_3.
