                  determined all finite abelian regular branched covers
                  of the 2-sphere with the property that all
                  homeomorphisms of the base preserving the branch set
                  lift to the cover, extending the previous works of
                  Ghaswala-Winarski and Atalan-Medettoğulları-Ozan. In
                  this talk, we will present a consequence of this
                  classification to the computation of Picard groups of
                  moduli spaces of complex projective curves with
                  certain symmetries. Indeed, we will use the work by K.
                  Kordek already used by him for similar computations.
                  During the talk we will try to explain the necessary
                  concepts and tools following Kordek's work.<br>
