The Moduli Space of Cubic Threefolds as a Ball Quotient

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

The moduli space of cubic threefolds in CP4, with some minor birational modifications, is the Baily-Borel compactification of the quotient of the complex 10-ball by a discrete group. We describe both the birational modifications and the discrete group explicitly.
