Abstract: In this note we give a new, natural construction of a compactification of the stack of smooth r-spin curves, which we call the stack of stable twisted $r$-spin curves. This stack is identified with a special case of a stack of twisted stable maps of Abramovich and Vistoli. Realizations in terms of admissible G_m-spaces and Q-line bundles are given as well. The infinitesimal structure of this stack is described in a relatively straightforward manner, similar to that of usual stable curves. We construct representable morphisms from the stacks of stable twisted r-spin curves to the stacks of stable r-spin curves, and show that they are isomorphisms. Many delicate features of r-spin curves, including torsion free sheaves with power maps, arise as simple by-products of twisted spin curves. Various constructions, such as the d bar-operator of Seeley and Singer and Witten's cohomology class go through without complications in the setting of twisted spin curves.

Review text

The main object of this article is the introduction of the concept of twisted stable \(r\)-spin curves and its comparison with related topics. The following notations are used: Let \(r>0\) and \(g,n \geq 0\) be fixed integers. Furthermore, let \({\mathbf m}= (m_1,m_2,\ldots,m_n)\) be an \(n\)-tuple of integers. A smooth \(r\)-spin curve of type \({\mathbf m}\) is the data \((C \to S, s_i, {\mathcal L}, c)\) with \(C \to S\) a smooth \(n\)-pointed curve of genus \(g\), with the sections \(s_i\), \({\mathcal L}\) an invertible sheaf on \(C\), and \(c\) an isomorphism between \({\mathcal L}^{\otimes r}\) and \(\omega_{C/S}(-m_1S_1-m_2S_2-\ldots -m_nS_n)\), where \(S_i\) is the image of \(s_i\). The \(r\)-th power map on \({\mathbb G_m}\) defines a 1-morphism \(\kappa_r\) from the classifying stack \({\mathcal B}{\mathbb G_m}\) to itself. If \({\mathbf m}=(-1,-1,\ldots , -1)\), then we obtain a 1-commutative diagram \[ \begin{tikzcd} &\mathcal B\mathbb G_m \ar[dr,"\kappa_r"] & \\ \mathcal C \ar[ur,"\mathcal L"] \ar[rr,"{\omega_{C/S}(S_1 + S_2 +\dots S_n)}" '] &&\mathcal B \mathbb G_m\,. \end{tikzcd} \] Twisted stable \(r\)-spin curves are now, aside from some technical details, defined by the above diagram, where instead of smooth curves \(C \to S\) twisted \(n\)-pointed curves are now allowed. Twisted stable \(r\)-spin curves are proposed as a natural compactification of the moduli stack of smooth \(r\)-spin curves. The authors construct the moduli stack of twisted stable \(r\)-spin curves and identify this moduli stack with the stack of twisted stable maps of Abramovich and Vistoli. Furthermore, they investigate the infinitesimal structure of this stack and compare the twisted spin curves with the quasi spin curves of Jarvis. They conclude with remarks about the \(\bar \partial\) operator of Seeley and Singer and Witten's class.
