Summary

In this expository paper, we show that the Deligne–Mumford moduli space of stable curves is projective over Spec (Ζ). The proof we exposit is due to Kollár. Ampleness of a line bundle is deduced from nefness of a related vector bundle via the Ampleness Lemma, a classifying map construction. The main positivity result concerns the pushforward of relative dualizing sheaves on families of stable curves over a smooth projective curve.
