Abstract

We compute the class of the effective divisors on Mg,n\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}, which are set theoretically equal to the locus of moduli points [C,p1,,pn][C,p_1,\dots ,p_n] where CC lies on a quadric under the map given by the linear series KCp1pn|K_C-p_1-\dots -p_n|. Using this divisor class we show that the moduli spaces M16,8\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{16,8} and M17,8\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{17,8} are of general type. We also note that the divisor classes computed in the papers \cite{FV1} and \cite{FV2} can be used to show that M12,10\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{12,10} is of general type as well.
