The computational techniques we developed are applied to several examples including Fermat curves, $p$-cyclic covers of the affine line and to Lehr-Matignon curves.33 pages, A gap in the proof of lemma 1.5 is filledAlgebraic Geometry14H37 14B99On the tangent space of the deformation functor of curves with automorphismstext
