DESCRIPTION:Prof. Zsolt PATAKFALVI (Princeton University)\nOne of the prim
 ary goals of algebraic geometry is to classify algebraic varieties. In thi
 s talk\, I will explain what algebraic varieties are and how the quest for
  their classification\nleads to the construction of moduli spaces.\nI will
  also discuss why projective compactifications of these moduli spaces are 
 useful. To demonstrate this\, I will focus on moduli spaces of stable (wei
 ghted pointed) curves\, as well as their higher dimensional generalization
 s\, which are referenced as stable log-varieties\, KSBA pairs or semi-log 
 canonical models in the literature.\nIn the end\, I will present recent re
 sults on the projectivity of the moduli spaces of stable log-varieties\, a
 s well as some applications and related results.
