摘要
Consider genus g curves that admit degree d covers of an elliptic curve. Varying a branch point, we get a one-parameter family W of simply branched covers. Varying the target elliptic curve, we get another one-parameter family Y of covers that have a unique branch point. We investigate the geometry of W and Y by using admissible covers to study their slopes, genera and components. The results can be applied to study slopes of effective divisors on the moduli space of stable genus g curves.
