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 LotimesellcongomegaCotimesk. 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.
