Funded Activity Summary

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. 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.
