Orbifold points on Prym-Teichm\"{u}ller curves in genus four
Abstract
For each discriminant , McMullen constructed the Prym-Teichm\"uller curves and in and , which constitute one of the few known infinite families of geometrically primitive Teichm\"{u}ller curves. In the present paper, we determine for each the number and type of orbifold points on . These results, together with a previous result of the two authors in the genus case and with results of Lanneau-Nguyen and M\"oller, complete the topological characterisation of all Prym-Teichm\"uller curves and determine their genus. The study of orbifold points relies on the analysis of intersections of with certain families of genus curves with extra automorphisms. As a side product of this study, we give an explicit construction of such families and describe their Prym-Torelli images, which turn out to be isomorphic to certain products of elliptic curves. We also give a geometric description of the flat surfaces associated to these families and describe the asymptotics of the genus of for large .
