Funded Activity Summary

Advances in algebraic stacks and applications. 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.
