The geometry and categorical moduli space conjecture for the stack of all curves
Let denote the stack of all proper curves of genus over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . For each , the following assertions are conjectured:
The stack of all curves conjecture.
- satisfies Vakil's Murphy's law.
- .
- The structure morphism
is a categorical moduli space.
These assertions describe the expected extreme singularity of the stack together with the triviality of its Picard group and the existence of a categorical moduli space. The supplied text does not indicate whether they have been proved or disproved.
