Abstract: In a series of recent papers, Chiodo, Farkas and Ludwig carry out a deep analysis of the singular locus of the moduli space of stable (twisted) curves with an $ell$-torsion line bundle. They show that for $ellleq6$ and $elleq5$ pluricanonical forms extend over any desingularization. This allows to compute the Kodaira dimension without desingularizing, as done by Farkas and Ludwig for $ell=2$, and by Chiodo, Eisenbud, Farkas and Schreyer for $ell=3$. Here we treat roots of line bundles on the universal curve systematically: we consider the moduli space of curves $C$ with a line bundle $L$ such that $L^{otimesell}congomeg{a}_C^{otimesk}$. New loci of canonical and non-canonical singularities appear for any $kotinellmathbbZ$ and $ell>2$, we provide a set of combinatorial tools allowing us to completely describe the singular locus in terms of dual graph. We characterize the locus of non-canonical singularities, and for small values of $ell$ we give an explicit description.

Review text

Given a moduli space, analyzing whether it has canonical singularities plays an important role in determining its Kodaira dimension, e.g. see the fundamental work of Harris and Mumford for the moduli space of stable curves [\textit{J. Harris} and \textit{D. Mumford}, Invent. Math. 67, 23--86 (1982; Zbl 0506.14016)]. Recently Chiodo, Farkas and Ludwig studied the singular locus of the moduli space of stable curves with an \(\ell\)-torision line bundle for small values of \(\ell\) [\textit{A. Chiodo} and \textit{G. Farkas}, J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 19, No. 3, 603--658 (2017; Zbl 1398.14032); \textit{G. Farkas} and \textit{K. Ludwig}, J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 12, No. 3, 755--795 (2010; Zbl 1193.14043)]. In this paper, the author considers a generalized moduli space when the line bundle is an \(\ell\)-th root of the \(k\)-th power of the dualizing line bundle of the underlying curve. The main result is a combinatorial description of the canonical and non-canonical singular loci of this moduli space in terms of dual graphs.
