Abstract.
Let C g,n be a compact surface of genus g having n punctures, T g,n the associated Teichmüller space, and Γ g,n the corresponding Teichmüller modular group. We will show that for any subgroup Γ≤Γ g,n , Γ T g,n ≔ T g,n /Γ is a moduli space of curves having Γ-structure. Furthermore, we will investigate for which Γ≤Γ g,n and for which finite coverings P : C g′,n′ →C g,n there exists a holomorphic map Φ P : Γ T g,n → Γ′T g′,n′ such that for any R ? Γ T g,n , Φ P (R) → R is topologically equivalent to P.
