Abstract
In this thesis, we study geometry and moduli spaces associated to low degree covers. There are two parts to this thesis. The first part comprises the bulk of the thesis and focuses on covers of degree 2. It is motivated by the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics in number theory. The second part contains three topics. The first relates to certain low degree covers of moduli spaces of elliptic curves, the second topic relates to heights on elliptic curves in characteristic 3, and the third topic relates to the Casnati-Ekedahl structure theorems for covers.
