Abstract: We compute the stable reduction of some Galois covers of the projective line branched at three points. These covers are constructed using Hurwitz spaces parameterizing metacyclic covers. The reduction is determined by a hypergeometric differential equation. This generalizes the result of Deligne- Rapoport on the reduction of the modular curve X(p).


The stable reduction of some Galois covers of the projective line branched at three points is computed by using Hurwitz spaces parameterizing metacyclic covers. The reduction is determined by a certain hypergeometric differential equation, which generalizes the result of \textit{P. Deligne} and \textit{M. Rapoport} on the reduction of modular curve \(X(p)\) [in: Modular functions and variable II, Proc. internat. Summer School, Univ. Antwerp 1972, Lect.
