Corrigendum: A construction of the Deligne-Mumford orbifold (Q2478604)

Summary: We correct an error in [J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 8, No. 4, 611--699 (2006; Zbl 1105.32011), Lemma 8.2]. As stated, the lemma only holds for surfaces of genus greater than 1 or in the case \(\alpha=0\). When the genus is 0 or 1 and in addition \(\alpha\neq 0\), equation (8) in [loc. cit.] (in the present corrigendum this is equation (2)) is only a necessary condition for the integrability of \(J\) but is not sufficient. In [loc. cit.] Lemma 8.2 is only used twice. On page 637 it is used in the trivial case \(\alpha =0\). On page 642 only the ``only if'' direction is used and the proof of that direction is correct in [loc. cit.]. In this note we prove a corrected version of [loc. cit., Lemma 8.2].
