On Mumford's construction of degenerating abelian varieties

We prove that a 1-dimnl family of abelian varieties with an ample sheaf defining principal polarization can be canonically compactified (after a finite base change) to a projective family with an ample sheaf. We show that the central fiber (P,L), which we call an SQAV, has a canonical Cartier theta divisor. We give a combinatorial definition for SQAVs and describe their geometrical properties, in particular compute cohomologies of L^n, n\ge0.

Compactified jacobians

Let J be the jacobian of a reduced projective curve C with nodes only. 1) We give a simple and natural definition for its many compactifications and show the connection with various other definitions appearing in the literature. 2) Among all compactifications we choose one canonical, and define a theta divisor on it. 3) We give two very explicit and simple descriptions of a stratification of this canonical compactification into homogeneous spaces over J.

Log canonical singularities and complete moduli of stable pairs

1) Assuming log Minimal Model Conjecture, we give a construction of a complete moduli space of stable log pairs of arbitrary dimension generalizing directly the space M_{g,n} of pointed stable curves. Each stable pair has semi log canonical singularities. 2) We prove that a stable quasiabelian pair, defined by author and I.Nakamura as the limit of abelian varieties with theta divisors, has semi log canonical singularities.

Moduli spaces $M_{g,n}(W)$ for surfaces

We construct and prove the projectiveness of the moduli spaces which are natural generalizations to the case of surfaces of the following: 1) $M_{g,n}$, the moduli space of $n$-marked stable curves, 2) $M_{g,n}(W)$, the moduli space of $n$-marked stable maps to a variety $W$.

Two Two-dimensional Terminations

Varieties with log terminal and log canonical singularities are considered in the Minimal Model Program, see \cite{...} for introduction. In \cite{shokurov:hyp} it was conjectured that many of the interesting sets, associated with these varieties have something in common: they satisfy the ascending chain condition, which means that every increasing chain of elements terminates. Philosophically, this is the reason why two main hypotheses in the Minimal Model Program: existence and termination of flips should be true and are possible to prove. In this paper we prove that the following two sets satisfy the ascending chain condition: 1. The set of minimal log discrepancies for $K_X+B$ where $X$ is a surface with log canonical singularities. 2. The set of groups $(b_1,...b_s)$ such that there is a surface $X$ with log canonical and numerically trivial $K_X+\sum b_jB_j$. The order on such groups is defined in a natural way.
