Title |
Good quotients and good moduli spaces |
Abstract |
Algebraic stacks are undeniably technical objects. However, once one comes to terms with their abstract nature (or simply accepts them as black boxes), they become incredibly useful tools. This applies not only to modern (and otherwise intractable) problems, but also to classical questions, especially those in equivariant geometry. I will summarize one such example, in which the language of algebraic stacks can be used to quickly reprove (and even generalize) a statement on the existence of good quotients. |
