Overview

The moduli space Mg of curves of fixed genus g -- that is, the algebraic variety that parametrizes all curves of genus g -- is one of the most intriguing objects of study in algebraic geometry these days. Its appeal results not only from its beautiful mathematical structure but also from recent developments in theoretical physics, in particular in conformal field theory.
