Abstract: Let $overline{mathcalM}_{g,A[n]}$ be the Hassett moduli stack of weighted stable curves, and let $overline{M}_{g,A[n]}$ be its coarse moduli space. These are compactifications of $mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ and $M_{g,n}$ respectively, obtained by assigning rational weights $A=(a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)$, $0<a_{i}leq1$ to the markings; they are defined over $mathbbZ$, and therefore over any field. We study the first order infinitesimal deformations of $overline{mathcalM}_{g,A[n]}$ and $overline{M}_{g,A[n]}$. In particular, we show that $overline{M}_{0,A[n]}$ is rigid over any field, if $ggeq1$ then $overline{mathcalM}_{g,A[n]}$ is rigid over any field of characteristic zero, and if $g+n>4$ then the coarse moduli space $overline{M}_{g,A[n]}$ is rigid over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Finally, we take into account a degeneration of Hassett spaces parametrizing rational curves obtained by allowing the weights to have sum equal to two. In particular, we consider such a Hassett $3$-fold which is isomorphic to the Segre cubic hypersurface in $mathbb{P}^4$, and we prove that its family of first order infinitesimal deformations is non-singular of dimension ten, and the general deformation is smooth.
