Abstract
Given an embedding of a smooth projective curve of genus into , we study the locus of linear subspaces of of codimension 2 such that projection from said subspace, composed with the embedding, gives a Galois morphism . For genus we prove that this locus is a smooth projective variety with components isomorphic to projective spaces. If and the embedding is given by a complete linear system, we prove that this locus is also a smooth projective variety whose positive-dimensional components are isomorphic to projective bundles over \'etale quotients of the elliptic curve, and we describe these components explicitly.
