We define Reichstein transforms to be certain birational transformations of Artin stacks with good moduli spaces. Our main technical result is that the Reichstein transform of an Artin toric stack is again an Artin toric stack. This leads…

This work investigates the Frobenius morphism on derived categories associated with algebraic stacks in positive characteristic. Particularly, we show that in many cases sufficiently many Frobenius pushforwards of a compact generator…

We establish a criterion for determining when a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack is a weighted blow-up. More precisely, given a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack $\mathcal{X}$ and a Cartier divisor $\mathcal{E} \subset \mathcal{X}$ such that (1)…

We compactify the moduli stack of maps from curves to certain quotient stacks $\mathcal{X}=[W/G]$ with a projective good moduli space, extending previous results from quasimap theory. For doing so, we introduce a new birational…

Yet another proof of the result asserting that a morphism of commutative rings is an effective descent morphism for modules if and only if it is pure is given. Moreover, it is shown that this result cannot be derived from Moerdijk's descent…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be an algebraic stack admitting a moduli space $\mathcal{X}_{\mathrm{mod}}$. We study the factorizations of the moduli space morphism $\mathcal{X}\rightarrow\mathcal{X}_{\mathrm{mod}}$ to construct intermediate stacks that…

We prove that smooth, separated Deligne--Mumford stacks in mixed characteristic with quasi-projective coarse moduli space are global quotient stacks and satisfy the resolution property. This builds on work of Kresch and Vistoli and of…

We introduce and study a class of algebraic stacks with finite inertia in positive and mixed characteristic, which we call tame algebraic stacks. They include tame Deligne-Mumford stacks, and are arguably better behaved than general…

One fundamental consequence of a scheme $X$ being proper is that the functor classifying maps from $X$ to any other suitably nice scheme or algebraic stack is representable by an algebraic stack. This result has been generalized by…

This note is but a research announcement, summarizing and explaining results proven and detailed in forthcoming papers. When one studies families of objects over curves, and the objects are parametrized by a Deligne-Mumford stack M, then…

The theory of moduli of morphisms on P^n generalizes the study of rational maps on P^1. This paper proves three results about the space of morphisms on P^n of degree d > 1, and its quotient by the conjugation action of PGL(n+1). First, we…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a smooth Artin stack with properly stable good moduli space $\pi\colon\mathcal{X} \to X$. The purpose of this paper is to prove that a simple geometric criterion can often characterize when the moduli space $X$ is…

The Cox construction presents a toric variety as a quotient of affine space by a torus. The category of coherent sheaves on the corresponding stack thus has an evident description as invariants in a quotient of the category of modules over…

For a rational map $\phi: X \to G$ from a normal algebraic variety $X$ to a commutative algebraic group $G$, we define the modulus of $\phi$ as an effective divisor on $X$. We study the properties of the modulus. This work generalizes the…

Stable quotient spaces provide an alternative to stable maps for compactifying spaces of maps. When the target is projective space and the domain curve has genus 1, these are smooth proper Deligne-Mumford stacks. In this paper we study the…

Let X be an irreducible affine T-variety. We consider families of affine stable toric T-varieties over X and give a description of the corresponding moduli space as the quotient stack of an open subscheme in a certain toric Hilbert scheme…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for when an algebraic stack admits a good moduli space and prove a semistable reduction theorem for points of algebraic stacks equipped with a $\Theta$-stratification. These results provide a…

There is a well-known stratification of the moduli space $M_g$ of Deligne-Mumford stable curves of genus $g$ by the loci of stable curves with a fixed number $i$ of nodes, where $i \le 3g-3$. The associated moduli stack ${\cal M}_g$ admits…

We introduce the moduli stack of pointed curves equipped with effective $r$-spin structures: these are effective divisors $D$ such that $rD$ is a canonical divisor modified at marked points. We prove that this moduli space is smooth and…

We develop a theory of good moduli spaces for derived Artin stacks, which naturally generalizes the classical theory of good moduli spaces introduced by Alper. As such, many of the fundamental results and properties regarding good moduli…
