Abstract

We introduce and study the GIT cone of , which is generated by the pullbacks of the natural ample line bundles on the GIT quotients . We give an explicit formula for these line bundles and prove a number of basic results about the GIT cone. As one application, we prove unconditionally that the log canonical models of with a symmetric boundary divisor coincide with the moduli spaces of weighted curves or with the symmetric GIT quotient, extending the result of Matt Simpson.
