The stack of Potts curves and its fibre at a prime of wild ramification
Abstract
In this article we study the modular properties of a family of cyclic coverings of P1 of degree N, in all odd characteristics. We compute the moduli space of the corresponding algebraic stack over Z[1/2], as well as the Picard groups over algebraically closed fields. We put special emphasis on the study of the fibre of the stack at a prime of wild ramification; in particular we show that the moduli space has good reduction at such a prime.
