Log minimal model program for the moduli space of stable curves of genus three (Q2275721)

Let \(\overline{M}_3\) be the moduli space of stable curves of genus \(3\) and \(\delta\) be the total boundary. In this paper, the authors compute the log canonical models for the pairs \((\overline{\mathcal M}_3, \alpha \delta )\) given by \[ \overline{M}_3(\alpha ):=\mathbf{Proj}\bigoplus _{m\geq 0}\Gamma (\overline{M}_3, m(K_{\overline{\mathcal M}_3}+\alpha \delta)) \] for all \(\alpha \in [0,1]\). They give a modular interpretation of each model \(\overline{M}_3\) and of the birational maps between them.
