The Minimal Model Program for the Kontsevich Space $\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,0}(\mathbb P^{3}, 3)$
Abstract: We run the log minimal model program for the Kontsevich space of
stable maps $\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,0}(\mathbb P^{3}, 3)$ and give
geometric interpretations of all the intermediate spaces. In particular, we
show that one component of the corresponding Hilbert scheme is the flip of
$\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,0}(\mathbb P^{3}, 3)$ over the Chow variety.
