Abstract

We give an informal survey, emphasizing examples and open problems, of two interconnected research programs in moduli of curves: the systematic classification of modular compactifications of $M_{g,n}$ , and the study of Mori chamber decompositions of $\M_{g,n}$ .

Keywords

moduli of curves modular compactifications Mori chamber decompositions M_{g,n} open problems
