A Generic Slice of the Moduli Space of Line Arrangements
Abstract
We study the compactification of the locus parametrizing lines with a fixed intersection to a given line, inside the moduli space of line arrangements in the projective plane constructed for weight one by Hacking-Keel-Tevelev and Alexeev for general weights. We show that this space is smooth, with normal crossing boundary, and that it has a morphism to the moduli space of marked rational curves which can be understood as a natural continuation of the blow up construction of Kapranov. In addition, we prove that it is isomorphic to a closed subvariety inside a non-reductive Chow quotient. The parametrized objects are surfaces with broken lines, whose dual graphs are rooted trees with possibly repeated markings.
