The projectivity of the moduli space of stable curves, II: The stacks M...
For a proper local embedding between two Deligne-Mumford stacks and , we find, under certain mild conditions, a new (possibly non-separated) Deligne-Mumford stack , with an etale, surjective and universally closed map to the target , and whose fiber product with the image of the local embedding is a finite union of stacks with corresponding etale, surjective and universally closed maps to . Moreover, a natural set of weights on the substacks of allows the construction of a universally closed...
We describe the tautological ring of the moduli space of stable -pointed curves of genus one of compact type. It is proven that it is a Gorenstein algebra.

The purpose of this paper is to study the connectedness of the Hilbert scheme H(d,g) of degree d and genus g curves (locally Cohen-Macaulay) in P3. Thanks to the method of triads, we show that a large class of curves (the curves whose Rao-module is Koszul, i.e. a complete intersection) are in the connected component of extremal curves. This generalizes widely several recent results.
