Moduli of surfaces in

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to construct a compactification of the moduli space of degree

d g e 5

surfaces in

m a t h b b P^{3}

, i.e. a parameter space whose interior points correspond to (equivalence classes of) smooth surfaces in

m a t h b b P^{3}

and whose boundary points correspond to degenerations of such surfaces. We study a more general problem and consider a divisor

D

on a Fano variety

Z

as a pair

(Z, D)

satisfying certain properties. We find a modular compactification of such pairs and, in the case of

Z = m a t h b b P^{3}

and

D

a surface, use their properties to classify the pairs on the boundary of the moduli space.
