Log geometry and moduli problems


Abstract
             

In my talk I will outline some foundations of log geometry and then discuss applications to some moduli questions, where one seeks for a natural modular compactification of a classical moduli space. It might well be the case that no natural modular compactification exists, but we will see that the situation improves if one considers functors represented by log schemes.
