Title: Effective Divisors on Moduli Space of Curves
Speaker: Dawei Che, Boston College
Abstract: The cone of effective divisors contains important information about the birational geometry of a variety. In this talk I will give an introduction to this subject, with a focus on the case when the ambient variety is the moduli space of curves. If time permits, I will also talk about effective cycles of higher codimension.
