Abstract
We study some particular loci inside the moduli space , namely the bielliptic locus (i.e. the locus of curves admitting a cover over an elliptic curve ) and the bihyperelliptic locus (i.e. the locus of curves admitting a cover over a hyperelliptic curve , ). We show that the bielliptic locus is not a totally geodesic subvariety of if (whereas it is for , see [18]) and that the bihyperelliptic locus is not totally geodesic in if . We also give a lower bound for the rank of the second Gaussian map at the generic point of the bielliptic locus and an upper bound for this rank for every bielliptic curve.
