Let \(M^ r_ g\) be the subset of the moduli space of smooth curves \(C\) of genus \(g\) corresponding to curves which admit a theta-characteristic \(L\) (i.e. \(L^{\otimes 2} = K_ C)\) such that the dimension \(n = h^ 0 (C,L)\) satisfies: \(n \equiv r [2]\) and \(n \geq r + 1\). The author proves that, for \(g \geq 9\), \(M^ 3_ g\) has a component \(Z\) such that the generic curve \(C\) corresponding to \(Z\) is embedded in \(\mathbb{P}^ 3\) by the (unique) even theta-characteristic \(L\) on \(C\) with \(h^ 0 (C,L) = 4\). This embedding is linearly semistable. The proof uses degeneration technics.
