Abstract

We describe the GIT compactification for the moduli space of smooth quintic surfaces in projective space. This GIT quotient is used along with the stable replacement for studying the geometry of another special compactification which was developed by Kollár, Shepherd-Barron and Alexeev. In particular, we discuss the interplay between GIT stable quintic surfaces with minimal elliptic singularities and boundary divisors in the KSBA space. | We describe the GIT compactification for the moduli space of smooth quintic surfaces in projective space.
