Small resolutions of moduli spaces of scaled curves

Algebraic Geometry 2026-01-01 v5 Combinatorics

Abstract

We construct small resolutions of the moduli space Qn\overline{Q}_n of stable scaled nn-marked lines of Ziltener and Ma'u--Woodward and of the moduli space Pn\overline{P}_n of stable nn-marked Ga{\mathbb G}_a-rational trees introduced in earlier work. The resolution of Pn\overline{P}_n is the augmented wonderful variety corresponding to the graphic matroid of the complete graph. The resolution of Qn\overline{Q}_n is a further blowup, also a wonderful model of an arrangement in Pn1{\mathbb P}^{n-1}.
