comment Internal Day convolution
I don't think that's a reason not to accept it. For instance, I think a lot of people will happily upvote a question that they only partially understand, but will hesitate to do the same with an answer (because in this case the upvote could be seen as a "certificate" of correctness).

This question makes no sense as stated. Precisely what moduli stacks of pointed varieties are you considering?

comment Dense Affine Subvarieties of Algebraic Varieties
You can trivially reduce to the case when the connected components of $X$ are irreducible: just shrink $X$ to a smaller variety $X'$ by throwing out all points lying on more than one irreducible component. Then $X'$ is open and dense in $X$ and it suffices to find a dense affine in $X'$.

comment Does every simplicial polytope have a topology-preserving contractible edge?
"On a $d$-simplex, no edge is contractible. [...] Does every simplicial polytope have a contractible edge?". I think you just answered your own question.

comment Is the moduli space of ppAVs smooth?
J. Martel, either I am misunderstanding you or you are confused. The locus of Jacobians is not closed in $A_g$ for any $g \geq 2$, its closure is the locus of products of Jacobians. When $g=2$ every ppav is a Jacobian or a product of two elliptic curves.

comment Is the moduli space of ppAVs smooth?
I agree with all of this but it seems tough going to refer to Faltings--Chai for this result. The OP seems content to work over the complex numbers and then smoothness of the moduli stack amounts to saying that there exists a finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{Sp}(2g,\mathbf Z)$ which acts freely on Siegel space.

comment A_infinity structure on cohomology and the weight filtration
The last paragraph doesn't sound right to me - shouldn't the $m_n$ be compatible with weights on the nose?

comment Cohomology of configuration spaces
@Nicholas Proudfoot: On the other hand, all Christin asked for was a procedure for computing the Betti numbers, not a closed formula. I know Orsola Tommasi wrote a computer program computing the Betti numbers of Totaro's DGA for an elliptic curve, you could e-mail her and ask for the code.

comment Minimal compactification
Actually $A_g$ is a hermitian symmetric space, so the minimal compactification doesn't just mimic the construction of Satake-Baily-Borel: it is a special case of it.

In my proof it is a closed, not necessarily compact, oriented submanifold (e.g. a line in the plane). Is it incorrect?

comment What can we say about this generalization of simply-connectedness?
Could it be that the correct generalization is that a product of a $d$-simple and a $d'$-simple variety is $(d+d')$-simple?

comment What can we say about this generalization of simply-connectedness?
@Will Sawin: I don't even know what it means for the stack $M_1$ to be affine! Note that we can not consider the usual DM-stack of elliptic curves $M_{1,1}$, since we are explicitly not assuming the existence of a section.

ulrich: does your argument really work for $g = 1$? The universal cover of $M_g$ is Teichmüller space only for $g \geq 2$.
