Lars Halle

Abstract

In this talk I will report on joint work with K. Hulek and Z. Zhang. First I will explain how some central results in VGIT can be extended to a relative setting. I will then discuss an application of relative VGIT to the study of certain degenerations of Hilbert schemes of points.
