Compact Moduli Spaces of Marked Cubic Plane Curves
We study compactifications of the moduli space of a plane cubic curve marked by \(n\) labeled points up to projective equivalence via Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). Specifically, we provide a complete description of the GIT walls and show that the moduli-theoretic wall-crossing can be understood through analysis of the singularities of the plane curves and the position of the points.
