Abstract

We study several types of curves and higher-dimensional objects inside the moduli spaces of curves, insisting on their arithmetic properties in the perspective of Grothendieck–Teichmüller theory. On the way we explicitly identify those curves which were originally associated by W. Veech with certain rational polygonal billiards.
