Abstract: We study birational projective models of ${mathcalM}_{2,2}$ obtained from the moduli space of curves with nonspecial divisors. We describe geometrically which singular curves appear in these models and show that one of them is obtained by blowing down the Weierstrass divisor in the moduli stack of $mathcalZ$-stable curves $overline{mathcalM}_{2,2}(mathcalZ)$ defined by Smyth. As a corollary, we prove projectivity of the coarse moduli space $overline{M}_{2,2}(mathcalZ)$.

Review text

Let \(\mathcal M_{2,2}\) be the moduli space of curves of genus \(2\) with two marked points. The authors study birational projective models of \(\mathcal M_{2,2}\) obtained from the GIT quotients of the moduli space of curves with nonspecial divisors \((C, p_1, p_2, v_1, v_2)\), where \(C\) is a reduced connected curve of arithmetic genus \(2\), \(p_1\) and \(p_2\) are distinct smooth points of \(C\), \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) are nonzero tangent vectors at them, such that the line bundle \(\mathcal O_C(p_1 +p_2)\) is ample and nonspecial (has vanishing \(H^1\)). The authors describe geometrically the GIT stabilities and show which singular curves appear in these models. In particular, one of the models is obtained by blowing down the Weierstrass divisor in the moduli stack of \(\mathcal Z\)-stable curves \(\mathcal M_{2,2}(\mathcal Z)\) defined by \textit{D. I. Smyth} [Invent. Math. 192, No. 2, 459--503 (2013; Zbl 1277.14023)], which implies projectivity of the coarse moduli space \(\overline{M}_{2,2}(\mathcal Z)\).
