Compactifications of Moduli of Abelian Varieties: an Introduction
نویسنده
چکیده
In this expository paper, we survey the various approaches to compactifying moduli stacks of polarized abelian varieties. To motivate the different approaches to compactifying, we first discuss three different points of view of the moduli stacks themselves. Then we explain how each point of view leads to a different compactification. Throughout we emphasize maximal degenerations which capture much of the essence of the theory without many of the technicalities.

Calabi-Yau Threefolds and Moduli of Abelian Surfaces I
Let Ad denote the moduli space of polarized abelian surfaces of type (1, d), and let A d be the moduli space of polarized abelian surfaces with canonical level structure. Both are (possibly singular) quasi-projective threefolds, and A d is a finite cover of Ad. We will also denote by Ãd and à d nonsingular models of suitable compactifications of these moduli spaces. We will use in the sequel de...
متن کاملCompactifications of Moduli Spaces Inspired by Mirror Symmetry
The study of moduli spaces by means of the period mapping has found its greatest success for moduli spaces of varieties with trivial canonical bundle, or more generally, varieties with Kodaira dimension zero. Now these moduli spaces play a pivotal rôle in the classification theory of algebraic varieties, since varieties with nonnegative Kodaira dimension which are not of general type admit bira...
متن کاملHilbert-Siegel moduli spaces in positive characteristic
Hilbert-Siegel varieties are moduli spaces for abelian varieties equipped with an action by an order OK in a fixed, totally real field K. As such, they include both the Siegel moduli spaces (use K = Q and the action is the standard one) and Hilbert-Blumenthal varieties (where the dimension of K is the same as that of the abelian varieties in question). In this paper we study certain phenomena a...
متن کاملThe Structure of the Moduli Spaces of Curves and Abelian Varieties
§ 1. The purpose of this talk is to collect together what seem to me to be the most basic moduli spaces (for curves and abelian varieties) and to indicate some of their most important interrelations and the key features of their internal structure, in particular those that come from the theta functions. We start with abelian varieties. Fix an integer g ^ 1. To classify g-dimensional abelian var...

0 Introduction In this paper, we investigate the moduli space S g,L of supersingular abelian varieties X with endomorphism structure θ : O L → End(X) and O L-linear principal polarization, where O L is the ring of integers in an algebraic number field L with involution *. General existence of the coarse moduli scheme of polarized abelian varieties with endomorphism structure is shown by using t...
