The moduli of rational Weierstrass fibrations over P1: singularities

Pablo Lejarraga

Vol. 160 (1993), No. 1, 91–107
Abstract

The Weierstrass equation y2 = x3 + ax + b, where a and b are rational functions of one variable, defines a fibration over P1, which we call a Weierstrass fibration. We consider the moduli space W of rational Weierstrass fibrations over P1. In this paper we determine the singular locus of W and we compute the general singularities. We work over C, but it seems possible to generalize our methods to characteristic p2,3.
