Abstract

A separating (M2M-2)-curve is a smooth geometrically irreducible real projective curve XX such that X(R)X(\mathbb{R}) has g1g-1 connected components and X(C)X(R)X(\mathbb{C})\setminus X(\mathbb{R}) is disconnected. Let TgT_g be a Teichm\"uller space of separating (M2M-2)-curves of genus gg. We consider two partitions of TgT_g, one by means of a concept of special type, the other one by means of the separating gonality. We show that those two partitions are very closely related to each other. As an application we obtain the existence of real curves having isolated real linear systems gg11g^1_{g-1} for all g4g\geq 4.
