Advances in moduli theory

Abstract: We will survey how recent advances in moduli theory allow for a new technique to construct projective moduli spaces of objects with potentially non-finite automorphism groups such as sheaves, complexes or Fano varieties. We will primarily explore this technique through the lens of the moduli space of vector bundles over a smooth curve where the definitions and concepts are most readily internalized. Time permitting, we will discuss applications to Bridgeland stability and perhaps how this construction technique, which works now only in characteristic zero, can be generalized to positive characteristic.
