Abstract

We study a 3-dimensional stratum ℳ3 , V of the moduli space ℳ3 of curves of genus 3 parameterizing curves Y that admit a certain action of V = C2 × C2. We determine the possible types of the stable reduction of these curves to characteristic different from 2. We define invariants for ℳ3 , V and characterize the occurrence of each of the reduction types in terms of them. We also calculate the j-invariant (respectively the Igusa invariants) of the irreducible components of positive genus of the stable reduction Y in terms of the invariants.
