A smooth compactification of the space of genus two curves in projective space: via logarithmic geometry and Gorenstein curves

Luca Battistella and Francesca Carocci

Geometry & Topology 27 (2023) 1203–1272
Abstract

We construct a modular desingularisation of ¯2,n(r,d)main . The geometry of Gorenstein singularities of genus two leads us to consider maps from prestable admissible covers; with this enhanced logarithmic structure, it is possible to desingularise the main component by means of a logarithmic modification. Both isolated and nonreduced singularities appear naturally. Our construction gives rise to a notion of reduced Gromov–Witten invariants in genus two.
