The supermeasure whose integral is the genus $g$ vacuum amplitude of superstring theory is potentially singular on the locus in the moduli space of supercurves where the corresponding even theta-characteristic has nontrivial sections. We show that the supermeasure is actually regular for $g\leq 11$. The result relies on the study of the superperiod map. We also show that the minimal power of the classical Schottky ideal that annihilates the image of the superperiod map is equal to $g$ if $g$ is…

Enumerative geometry via the moduli space of super Riemann surfaces
In this paper we relate volumes of moduli spaces of super Riemann surfaces to integrals over the moduli space of stable Riemann surfaces $\overline{\cal M}_{g,n}$. This allows us to use a recursion
