New Compactifications of Moduli Spaces of Curves. A moduli space is a geometric representation of a system of algebraic equations. Many fundamental problems in algebra, dynamics and physics can be reformulated as questions concerning the geometry of moduli spaces, in particular the moduli space of curves.

Many fundamental problems in algebra, dynamics and physics can be reformulated as questions concerning the geometry of moduli spaces, in particular the moduli space of curves. This project will produce a systematic classification of compactifications of the moduli space of curves, and develop new tools for investigating the geometry of these compactifications. One of these compactifications already lies at the centre of an extraordinary web of connections linking together topology, combinatorics and quantum field theory, and there is a strong possibility that this web fits into a more comprehensive picture involving all compactifications on an equal footing.Read moreRead less

Algebraic stacks are a geometric manifestation of algebraic and physical phenomena. Stacks provide a fundamental mathematical structure to study questions in geometry, topology and number theory having deep applications to string theory and complexity theory. This project will prove new fundamental theorems about algebraic stacks that will have broad implications. In particular, the new results obtained on algebraic stacks will be applied in order to resolve a long-standing open problem in algebraic geometry. Specifically, the project will provide a new description of the birational geometry of one of the most interesting and studied algebraic varieties, the moduli space of smooth curves.Read moreRead less
