a main goal of algebraic geometry is the classification of algebraic varieties and a central tool in this endeavor is the study of moduli spaces. i will discuss the moduli space of plane curves of degree d: a parameter space where each point corresponds to an isomorphism class of a certain curve. there are many techniques to compactify this space, including git, the minimal model program, and a differential geometric approach called k stability. in joint work with k. ascher and y. liu, we interpolate between these different compactifications and study the problem via wall crossings.
