Abstract: In this paper, we show that there exist families of curves (defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>2) whose Jacobians have interesting p-torsion. For example, for every 0leqfleqg, we find the dimension of the locus of hyperelliptic curves of genus g with p-rank at most f. We also produce families of curves so that the p-torsion of the Jacobian of each fibre contains multiple copies of the group scheme alphap. The method is to study curves which admit an action by so that the quotient is a projective line. As a result, some of these families intersect the hyperelliptic locus CHg.
