Abstract

We compute the \integ/\integ/\ell and \integ\integ_\ell monodromy of every irreducible component of the moduli spaces of hyperelliptic and trielliptic curves. In particular, we provide a proof that the \integ/\integ/\ell monodromy of the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves of genus gg is the symplectic group \sp2g(\integ/)\sp_{2g}(\integ/\ell). We prove that the \integ/\integ/\ell monodromy of the moduli space of trielliptic curves with signature (r,s)(r,s) is the special unitary group \su(r,s)(\integ/\tensor\integ[ζ3])\su_{(r,s)}(\integ/\ell\tensor\integ[\zeta_3]).
