Stable reductive varieties II: Projective case

Abstract

We construct a moduli space of stable projective pairs with a nontrivial action of a connected reductive group. These stable reductive pairs are higher-dimensional analogs of stable n-pointed curves and generalize to the non-commutative case a functorial compactification of moduli of abelian varieties, and of toric pairs. We prove that, confirming a prediction of log Minimal Program, stable reductive pairs have semi log canonical singularities. Final version, to appear in Advances of Math.
