Using Koll\'ar's semipositivity results, we produce a number of nef and ample tautological divisors on Hassett's spaces of weighted stable pointed curves. As an application, we prove that Hassett's spaces are log canonical models of…

We prove a formula of log canonical models for moduli space $\bar{M}_{g,n}$ of pointed stable curves which describes all Hassett's moduli spaces of weighted pointed stable curves in a single equation. This is a generalization of the…

We prove that, assuming the F-conjecture, the log canonical model of the pair $(\bar{M}_{0,n}, \sum a_i \psi_i)$ is the Hassett's moduli space of weighted pointed stable rational curves without any modification of weight coefficients. For…

We study the log canonical models of the moduli space MBar_{0,n} of pointed stable genus zero curves with respect to the standard log canonical divisors K+aD, where D denotes the boundary. In particular we show that, as a formal consequence…

We run Mori's program for the moduli space of pointed stable rational curves with divisor $K +\sum a_{i}\psi_{i}$. We prove that, without assuming the F-conjecture, the birational model for the pair is the Hassett's moduli space of weighted…

We introduce a new technique for proving positivity of certain divisor classes on $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ and its weighted variants. Our methods give an unconditional description of the spaces of symmetric weighted pointed rational curves as log…

Let $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,A[n]}$ be the Hassett moduli stack of weighted stable curves, and let $\overline{M}_{g,A[n]}$ be its coarse moduli space. These are compactifications of $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ and $M_{g,n}$ respectively, obtained…

The aim of this paper is to study all the natural first steps of the minimal model program for the moduli space of stable pointed curves. We prove that they admit a modular interpretation and we study their geometric properties. As a…

Hassett and Keel predicted that there is a descending sequence of critical $\alpha$ values where the log canonical model for the moduli space of stable curves with respect to $\alpha \delta$ changes. We derive a conjectural formula for the…

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 construct moduli spaces of representations of quivers over arbitrary schemes and show how moduli spaces of pointed curves of genus zero like the Grothendieck-Knudsen moduli spaces $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ and the Losev-Manin moduli spaces…

In this paper, we initiate our investigation of log canonical models for the moduli space of curves with the boundary divisor $\a \d$ as we decrease $\a$ from 1 to 0. We prove that for the first critical value $\a = 9/11$, the log canonical…

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…

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…

Let $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,A[n]}$ be the moduli stack parametrizing weighted stable curves, and let $\overline{M}_{g,A[n]}$ be its coarse moduli space. These spaces have been introduced by B. Hassett, as compactifications of…

We show that the moduli space of stable n-pointed rational curves $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ with its boundary $\Delta$ is algebraically hyperbolic.

Working in positive characteristic, we show how one can use information about the dimension of moduli spaces of rational curves on a Fano variety $X$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ to obtain strong estimates for the number of $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$-points…

Hassett constructed a class of modular compactifications of the moduli space of pointed curves by adding weights to the marked points. This leads to a natural wall and chamber decomposition of the domain of admissible weights where the…

1) Assuming log Minimal Model Conjecture, we give a construction of a complete moduli space of stable log pairs of arbitrary dimension generalizing directly the space M_{g,n} of pointed stable curves. Each stable pair has semi log canonical…
