Abstract
Suppose that , that , and that . The main result is that if is a smooth variety that dominates a codimension subvariety of , the moduli space of -pointed, genus , smooth, projective curves with a level structure, then the closure of the image of the monodromy representation has finite index in . A similar result is proved for codimension families of principally polarized abelian varieties.
