Stable curve

In algebraic geometry, a stable curve is an algebraic curve that is asymptotically stable in the sense of geometric invariant theory. This is equivalent to the condition that it is a complete connected curve whose only singularities are ordinary double points and whose automorphism group is finite. The condition that the automorphism group is finite can be replaced by the condition that it is not of arithmetic genus one and every non-singular rational component meets the other components in at least 3 points. A semi-stable curve is one satisfying similar conditions, except that the automorphism group is allowed to be reductive rather than finite (or equivalently its connected component may be a torus). Alternatively the condition that non-singular rational components meet the other components in at least three points is replaced by the condition that they meet in at least two points. Similarly a curve with a finite number of marked points is called stable if it is complete, connected, has only ordinary double points as singularities, and has finite automorphism group. For example, an elliptic curve (a non-singular genus 1 curve with 1 marked point) is stable. Over the complex numbers, a connected curve is stable if and only if, after removing all singular and marked points, the universal covers of all its components are isomorphic to the unit disk.

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 8: The Stable Model Category of Spectra

We discuss the enrichment of spectra over spaces, and the compatibility of this enrichment with the model structure. Then we define the stable model structure by adding extra cofibrations to the levelwise model category of spectra, and restricting the weak equivalences to those maps which

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 7: Constructing Model Categories

A stroll through the recognition theorem for cofibrantly generated model categories, using it to construct (1) the Quillen/Serre model structure on topological spaces and (2) the levelwise model structure on spectra. The latter captures the idea that spectra are sequences of spaces, but no

Rahul PANDHARIPANDE - Stable quotients and relations in the tautological ring

The topic concerns relations among the kappa classes in the tautological ring of the moduli space of genus g curves. After a discussion of classical constructions in Wick form, we derive an explicit set of relations obtained from the virtual geometry of the moduli space of stable quotients

Stability and Eigenvalues: What does it mean to be a "stable" eigenvalue?

This video clarifies what it means for a system of linear differential equations to be stable in terms of its eigenvalues. Specifically, we show that if all (potentially complex) eigenvalues have negative real part, then the system is stable. If even a single eigenvalue has positive real
