Birational Geometry Notes: Around Moduli theory

In this part of the notes, we focus on the properties of moduli spaces. The guiding philosophy behind moduli theory is that

The moduli of a geometric object completely determine the object itself. In birational geometry, one of the central themes is that the geometry of a variety is largely governed by the curves and divisors it contains.
