Abstract: We give a precise formulation of the modularity principle for the log canonical models of $$. Assuming the modularity principle holds, we develop and compare two methods for determining the critical alpha-values at which a singularity or complete curve with G_m-action arises in the modular interpretations of log canonical models of $$. The first method involves a new invariant of curve singularities with G_m-action, constructed via the characters of the induced G_m-action on spaces of pluricanonical forms. The second method involves intersection theory on the variety of stable limits of a singular curve. We compute the expected alpha-values for large classes of singular curves, including curves with ADE, toric, and monomial unibranch Gorenstein singularities, as well as for ribbons, and show that the two methods yield identical predictions. We use these results to give a conjectural outline of the log MMP for $$.

Review text

The log minimal model program (log MMP) on the moduli space \(\overline{\mathcal{M}}_g\) of stable genus \(g\) curves (also known as the Hassett-Keel program) can produce new birational models of \(\overline{\mathcal{M}}_g\) with modular meanings, i.e. parameterizing curves with various singularities. In this very interesting paper, the authors give a precise formulation of this modularity principle. They also define a new invariant of Gorenstein curve singularities with \(\mathbb G_m\)-action and use it to predict at which stage a singularity first arises in the log MMP. They work out a number of examples, including all ADE, toric planar, and unibranch Gorenstein singularities, and use these results to give a conjectural outline of the log MMP for \(\overline{\mathcal{M}}_g\).
