Speaker: Bumsig Kim, KIAS Title: A Compactification of the space of Maps from Curves ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is joint work with A. Kresch and Y.-G. Oh. Abstract: We will present a new compactification of the moduli space of maps from pointed nonsingular complex projective stable curves to a nonsingular complex projective variety with prescribed ramification indices at the points. It will be explained that the compactification is a proper DM-stack equipped with a natural virtual fundamental class.
