Feb 4, 2023 at 1:20 comment added YYY To Jason Starr. Yes, I am. If there is a mistake in Mumford's book, shouldn't I read his book?
Feb 3, 2023 at 23:29 comment added Jason Starr Are you asking me where is the mistake in Mumford's book?
Feb 3, 2023 at 12:24 comment added YYY This is a course by Ravi Vakil. However, he does not put up notes for the third and fourth classes. Therefore, I cannot study moduli theory by reading this.
Feb 3, 2023 at 12:22 comment added YYY I would like to read math.stanford.edu/~vakil/727/index.html.
Feb 3, 2023 at 12:17 comment added YYY What is a mistake in Mumford's book?
Feb 3, 2023 at 11:05 comment added Jason Starr Dolgachev's book is excellent and begins with a review of the classical approach to invariant theory (the "symbolic method"). There is a mistake in Mumford's book, and Dolgachev's book avoids that issue. Also, Dolgachev's book constructs the moduli spaces of Abelian varieties (and the moduli space of curves) in an "easier" way using the Kempf-Ness theorem (Dolgachev attributes the criterion to Kempf, but I believe it is Kempf-Ness).
Feb 3, 2023 at 8:56 comment added YYY I appreciate Donu Arapura's advice.
Feb 3, 2023 at 8:46 comment added Donu Arapura You can a look at books on invariant theory by Dolgachev and by Mukai. Although they might not fit all your requirements.
