Pretalk title: Geometry of moduli of curves
Abstract: I will introduce some basics concerning moduli spaces of algebraic curves. In particular, I will compute some examples for small genus cases.
Talk title: Moduli of curves and K-stability
Abstract: In this talk, I will explore various compactifications of moduli spaces of genus six curves, delving into their intricate interactions. A key ingredient is the K-moduli spaces of log Fano pairs. The intricate wall crossing structure not only yields novel compactifications but also plays a pivotal role in understanding the Hassett-Keel program of moduli spaces of curves.
