Classifying Fine Compactified Universal Jacobians (COW seminar)
Abstract
A fine compactified Jacobian is a proper open substack of the moduli space of simple sheaves. We will see that fine compactified Jacobians correspond to a certain combinatorial datum, essentially obtained by taking multidegrees of all elements of the compactified Jacobian. This picture generalizes to flat families of curves. We will discuss a classification result in the case when the family is the universal family over the moduli space of curves. This is a joint work with Jesse Kass.
