Abstract
We prove that given any n-pointed prestable curve C of genus g with linearly reductive automorphism group Aut(C),there exists an Aut(C)-equivariant miniversal deformation of C over an affine variety W. In other words, we prove that the algebraic stack Mg,n parameterizing n-pointed prestable curves of genus g has an étale neighborhood of [C] isomorphic to the quotient stack [W/Aut(C)].
