We study the cone of Moriwaki divisors on \bar{M}_g by means of augmented base loci. Using a result of Moriwaki, we prove that an R-divisor D satisfies the strict Moriwaki inequalities if and only if the augmented base locus of D is contained in the boundary of \bar{M}_g. Then we draw some interesting consequences on the Zariski decomposition of divisors on \bar{M}_g, on the minimal model program of \bar{M}_g and on the log canonical models \bar{M}_g(\alpha).

Normal Functions and the Geometry of Moduli Spaces of Curves
In this paper normal functions (in the sense of Griffiths) are used to solve and refine geometric questions about moduli spaces of curves. The first application is to a problem posed by Eliashberg:

In this paper we compute the asymptotics of the metric on the line bundle over the moduli space of curves that arises when attempting to compute the archimedean height of the algebraic cycle $C-C^-$
Birational aspects of the geometry of M_g
We discuss topics on the geometry of the moduli space of curves. We present a short proof of the Harris-Mumford theorem on the Kodaira dimension of the moduli space which replaces the computations on

In this paper, we initiate our investigation of log canonical models for (M g , αδ) as we decrease α from 1 to 0. We prove that for the first critical value α = 9/11, the log canonical model is
Relative Bogomolov’s inequality and the cone of positive divisors on the moduli space of stable curves
An interesting point of the above theorem is that even if the weak positivity of disx/y (E) at y is a global property on Y, it can be derived from the local assumption "the goodness of Xg and the

The main goal of this paper is to study varieties with the best possible Mori theoretic properties (measured by the existence of a certain decomposition of the cone of effective divisors). We call
Cornalba-Harris equality for semistable hyperelliptic curves in positive characteristic
Let Y be a nonsingular projective curve over an algebraically closed field k and f : X → Y a generically smooth semistable curve of genus g ≥ 2 with X nonsingular. Let ωX/Y denote the relative
