Abstract

For each integer D5D \geq 5 with D0D \equiv 0 or 1mod41 \bmod 4, the Weierstrass curve WDW_D is an algebraic curve and a finite volume hyperbolic orbifold which admits an algebraic and isometric immersion into the moduli space of genus two Riemann surfaces. The Weierstrass curves are the main examples of Teichm\"uller curves in genus two. The primary goal of this paper is to determine the number and type of orbifold points on each component of WDW_D. Our enumeration of the orbifold points, together with work of Bainbridge and McMullen, completes the determination of the homeomorphism type of WDW_D and gives a formula for the genus of its components. We use our formula to give bounds on the genus of WDW_D and determine the Weierstrass curves of genus zero. We will also give several explicit descriptions of each surface labeled by an orbifold point on WDW_D.
