Abstract

In this paper, for each $n\geqslant g\geqslant 0$ we consider the moduli stack $\widetilde{{\mathcal{U}}}_{g,n}^{ns}$ of curves $(C,p_{1},\ldots ,p_{n},v_{1},\ldots ,v_{n})$ of arithmetic genus $g$ with $n$ smooth marked points $p_{i}$ and nonzero tangent vectors $v_{i}$ at them, such that the divisor $p_{1}+\cdots +p_{n}$ is nonspecial (has $h^{1}=0$) and ample. With some mild restrictions on the characteristic we show that it is a scheme, affine over the Grassmannian $G(n-g,n)$. We also construct an isomorphism of $\widetilde{{\mathcal{U}}}_{g,n}^{ns}$ with a certain relative moduli of $A_{\infty }$-structures (up to an equivalence) over a family of graded associative algebras parametrized by $G(n-g,n)$.
