Modularity of log canonical models of the moduli space of stable curves
Abstract: The modularity program for the moduli space of stable curves is an attempt to give modular interpretation to log canonical models of $\bar{M}_g$. I will discuss recent work on GIT stability of canonical curves and a flip of the hyperelliptic locus (joint with Jensen), and predictions for the future steps of the program (joint with Alper and Smyth).
