Abstract: Let mathcalHg be the moduli space of genus g hyperelliptic curves. In this note, we study the locus mathcalL in mathcalHg of curves admitting a G-action of given ramification type sigma and inclusions between such loci. For each genus we determine the list of all possible groups, the inclusions among the loci, and the corresponding equations of the generic curve in mathcalL. The proof of the results is based solely on representations of finite subgroups of PGL2(mathbbC) and the Riemann-Hurwitz formula.
