Do automorphisms actually prevent the formation of fine moduli spaces?
I have found similar questions littered throughout this site and math.SE (for example [1], [2], [3],…), but I feel like like most of them usually just say that non-trivial automorphisms prevent the ...

When stacks don't help
Say I have a map between two coarse moduli spaces $f:M\to M'$, which is very clearly described (by performing some operation that works well for families). I want to prove that $f$ is formally ...

Is the stack of varieties with a big line bundle algebraic
In Starr's paper https://www.math.stonybrook.edu/~jstarr/papers/moduli4.pdf the folk result that the fibred category of pairs $(X\to S, L)$, where $S$ is an affine scheme, $X\to S$ is flat proper ...

Is the analytification of the coarse space equal to the coarse moduli space of the analytification?
If $X$ is a smooth finite type separated DM algebraic stack over $\mathbb C$ with coarse space $X^c$, then do we know whether the analytification of $X^c$ is the coarse space of the analytification of ...

Properties of the Zariski-Riemann topology on the set of valuations
One can classify all valuations on a function field $K$ of transcendence degree $2$ over $\mathbf{C}$. Let's consider the set $S_K$ of all valuations on $K$ endowed with the Zariski-Riemann topology.

Interesting stacks with affine space as coarse moduli
I am looking for examples of Deligne-Mumford stacks whose coarse moduli space is $\mathbb{A}^n$ or at least an open subscheme of $\mathbb{A}^n$ whose complement has codimension $2$. (Thus the whole ...

Road map for moduli space/moduli problem/moduli stack
I am familiar with (most of the) contents of Angelo Vistoli's notes on Descent theory (Stacks). I am also comfortable with basics of Schemes, their Cohomology (Cech), from Hartshorne's Algebraic ...

Stacks in moduli spaces of sheaves research
I want to get some practice and build more appreciation for the use of stacks in the context of classical moduli spaces of sheaves. Here by classical I vaguely mean hands-on description of the ...

Properties of finite quotients of quasi-projective varieties
Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a (smooth) quasi-projective variety over $\mathbb C$.
One can consider the stacky quotient $[X/G]$ or the "classical" quotient $X/G$. In general, $[X/G]$ is not a ...

Representability of stack of finite maps between curves
I am interested in the following moduli problem: The moduli functor $\mathcal{F}$ has $T$-points:
a nodal $n$-pointed curve $C/T$ of genus $g$.
a nodal $b$-pointed curve $D/T$ of genus $h$.
a finite ...

Tangent Space of Moduli of Log-Smooth Curves
We consider an algebraically closed field $\underline{k}$ and all constructions that we will consider are over this field. It is well known that for each relative nodal curve $\underline{f}: \...

Moduli stack of doubly periodic complexes?
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category.
In HAG II Toen and Vessozi built a higher derived stack $X$ whose category of perfect complexes is $\text{Perf}(X)\simeq D^b(\mathcal{A})$. So $X$ is a good ...

What is the pull-back of a polarization of abelian schemes over different bases?
The following came up when reading the definition of the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian varieties in [1].
Let $\pi_1:A_1 \to S_1$ and $\pi_2: A_2 \to S_2$ be abelian schemes over $S_i$, ...

Tangent and cotangent bundle of a smooth algebraic stack
Are there any good notion of tangent and cotangent bundle (and stacks) of a smooth algebraic stack, similar to the notion of tangent and cotangent bundles (and spaces) of smooth schemes?

Irreducible components of $\partial \bar{H}_{g,n}$
Let $\bar{H}_{g,n}$ be the moduli space (or moduli stack) of $n$-pointed stable hyperelliptic curves. I am interested in understanding its rational Picard group.
In the case $n=0$, the rational ...

Are these moduli problems of curves "well-behaved"?
Let X be a smooth projective surface over $\mathbb C$, and let $d\geq 3$ be an integer. Suppose that all smooth hypersurfaces of degree $d$ are of genus $g\geq 2$.
Let $H_{X,d}$ be the Hilbert scheme ...

Distribution of the marked points on the components of a stable n-pointed curve of genus zero
Let $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ be the fine moduli space of stable n-pointed curves of genus $g=0$. Let $[(D_{0},p_1,...,p_n)] \in \overline{M}_{0,n}$. Suppose that each component of $D_0$ contains at least ...

Moduli stack of l-adic sheaves?
Let us work over a field $k$. Then for any smooth affine group scheme $G$ over $k$, we can consider the stack quotient $BG := [\text{pt} / G]$ which classifies étale $G$-torsors.
Let $\ell$ be a prime ...

What is bad when stabilizers are non-reductive in moduli stacks?
Here is J. Alper's definition of good moduli spaces.
Consider in characteristic zero. Then we see that the classifying stack of any non-reductive group $H$ does not have a good moduli space. In ...
