We prove that the Losev--Manin compactification of the space of configurations of $n$ points on ${\mathbb P}^1 \backslash \{0,\infty\}$ modulo scaling degenerates (isotrivially) to a compactification of the space of configurations of $n$…

In this paper, we study all ways of constructing modular compactifications of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ of $n$-pointed smooth algebraic curves of genus $g$ by allowing markings to collide. We find that for any such…

Using representations of vertex operator algebras, we describe the line bundles on a wide range of contractions of $\overline{\rm{M}}_{0,n}$, the moduli space of stable $n$-pointed rational curves, by proving a stronger version of the…

Recent work on the log minimal model program for the moduli space of curves, as well as past results of Caporaso, Pandharipande, and Simpson motivate an investigation of compactifications of the universal moduli space of slope semi-stable…

The spaces of point configurations on the projective line up to the action of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb K)$ and its maximal torus are canonically compactified by the Grothdieck-Knudsen and Losev-Manin moduli spaces $\overline M_{0,n}$ and…

We prove that the moduli spaces of n-pointed m-stable curves introduced in our previous paper have projective coarse moduli. We use the resulting spaces to run an analogue of the Hassett-Keel log minimal model program for the moduli space…

For a reductive group $G$, Harder-Narasimhan theory gives a structure theorem for principal $G$ bundles on a smooth projective curve $C$. A bundle is either semistable, or it admits a canonical parabolic reduction whose associated Levi…

We consider the problem of constructing universal N\'eron models for families of curves with sections. By applying a construction of the author of universal compactified Jacobians over the moduli stack of reduced curves with markings and a…

We give a proof of the Gromov compactness theorem using the language of stable curves (i.e. cusp-curve of Gromov, or stable maps of Kontsevich and Manin) in general setting: An almost complex structure on a target manifold is only…

We construct modular compactifications of the universal Jacobian stack over the moduli stack of reduced curves with marked points depending on stability parameters obtained out of fixing a vector bundle on the universal curve. When…

It is well known that formal solutions to the Associativity Equations are the same as cyclic algebras over the homology operad $(H_*(\bar{M}_{0,n+1}))$ of the moduli spaces of $n$--pointed stable curves of genus zero. In this paper we…

We show that the compactification of the moduli space of $n-$nodal curves of genus g, i.e. $\mathcal{N}_{g,n}:= \mathcal{M}_{g,2n} /G$, with $G:=(\mathbb{Z}_2)^n \rtimes S_n$, is of general type for $g \geq 24$, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$.…

This paper is a sequel to the paper by A. Losev and Yu. Manin [LoMa1], in which new moduli stacks $\bar{L}_{g,S}$ of pointed curves were introduced. They classify curves endowed with a family of smooth points divided into two groups, such…

We study the rational homology of the Deligne--Mumford compactification $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ of the moduli space of stable curves via a family of Morse functions, namely the $\text{sys}_T$ functions. Exploiting the geometric and…

In the theory of the moduli-stacks of n-pointed stable curves, there are two fundamental functors, contraction and stabilization. These functors are constructed in [4], where they are used to show that the various \bar{M_{g,n}}'s are…

This is the third paper in a series, following [FPVa] and [FPVb]. We classify all modular compactifications of the universal Jacobian over $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, both as stacks and as their relative good moduli spaces. Our main…

This is the first in a pair of papers developing a framework for the application of logarithmic structures in the study of singular curves of genus $1$. We construct a smooth and proper moduli space dominating the main component of…

We resolve pathological wall-crossing phenomena for moduli spaces of sheaves on higher-dimensional base manifolds. This is achieved by considering slope-semistability with respect to movable curves rather than divisors. Moreover, given a…

In his fundamental work on the stack of stable n-pointed genus g curves, Finn F. Knudsen introduced the concept of a stably reflexive module in order to prove a key technical lemma. We propose an alternative definition and generalise the…

We prove that there exist some stacks, representable over the stack of stable curves, having the following universal property with respect to N\'eron models of Jacobians. For every one-parameter family of stable curves, with regular total…
