Abstract

In this paper we give an explicit construction of the moduli space of the pointed complete Gorenstein curves of arithmetic genus g with a given quasi-symmetric Weierstrass semigroup, that is, a Weierstrass semigroup whose last gap is equal to 2g − 2. We identify such a curve with its image under the canonical embedding in the (g − 1)-dimensional projective space. By normalizing the coefficients of the quadratic relations and by constructing Gröbner bases of the canonical ideal, we obtain the equations of the moduli space in terms of Buchberger's criterion. Moreover, by analyzing syzygies of the canonical ideal we establish criteria that make the computations less expensive.
