5. Boundary of M_d
-
Problem 5.1.
[Rachel Pries] Give an algebraic description of the boundary and maps in the boundary in characteristic p not necessarily 0. (Reference DeMarco). Try d=3. Motivation: results for moduli curves use understanding of the boundary. -
Problem 5.2.
[Holly Krieger]- (Want to look at a curve in M_2). For f(z)=\frac{z^2-1}{z^2-c}, there is a collection of PCF maps which approach c=1 on the curve. Compare the arboreal representation for f to the representation of the limit map.
- More generally, how do these representations behave as you deform to the boundary?
