Abstract
In a previous paper, arXiv:1206.5498, we introduced a new homological invariant for the faithful action of a finite group G on an algebraic curve. We show here that the moduli space of curves admitting a faithful action of a finite group G with a fixed homological invariant , if the genus g' of the quotient curve is sufficiently large, is irreducible (and non empty iff the class satisfies the condition which we define as 'admissibility'). In the unramified case, a similar result had been proven by Dunfield and Thurston using the classical invariant in the second homology group of G, H_2(G, \ZZ). We achieve our result showing that the stable classes are in bijection with the set of admissible classes .
