In this section, we briefly describe the objects under consideration for the sake of non-experts. A more detailed informal exposition of these well-known ideas is given in [PV]. When studying Riemann surfaces of some given genus g, one is naturally led to study the moduli spaceMg of such objects. This space has dimension 3g−3, and has a natural compactification due to Deligne and Mumford, [DM], the moduli space Mg of stable genus g curves. More generally, one can define a moduli space of stable n-pointed genus g curves, denoted Mg,n, over any given algebraically closed field (or indeed over SpecZ). We shall work over the complex numbers. A stable n-pointed genus g complex curve is a compact curve with only nodes as singularities, with n distinct labeled smooth points. There is a stability condition: each rational component has at least 3 special points, and each component of genus 1 has at least 1 special point. (A special point is a point on the normalization of the component that is either a marked point, or a branch of a node.) This stability condition is equivalent to requiring that the automorphism group of the pointed curve be finite. If a curve is stable, then a short combinatorial exercise shows that 2g − 2 + n > 0. The open subset ofMg,n corresponding to smooth curves is denotedMg,n. The curves of compact type (those with compact Jacobian, or equivalently, with a tree as dual graph) form a partial compactification, denoted Mg,n.
