Two elliptic curves with the same j-invariants
This is an interesting observation of mine when exploring moduli of elliptic curves.
Let's fix a base field $k$ and assume that we have two elliptic curves $E$, $E'$ which are isomorphic over $\bar k$...

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 $h$.
