Polydifferentials and the deformation functor of curves with automorphisms (Q886242)

The author gives a relation between the dimension of the tangent space of the deformation functor of curves with automorphisms and the Galois structure of the \(2\)-holomorphic differentials. He proves also a homological version of the local-global principle similar to the one in [\textit{J. Bertin} and \textit{A. Mézard}, Invent. Math. 141, 195--238 (2000; Zbl 0993.14014)]. Finally when \(G\) is a cyclic subgroup of the group of automorphisms of a curve, of order equal to the characteristic, he computes the dimension of the tangent space of the deformation functor.
