A classification of modular compactifications of the space of pointed elliptic curves by Gorenstein curves

Abstract: We classify the Deligne-Mumford stacks M compactifying the moduli space of smooth $n$-pointed curves of genus one under the condition that the points of M represent Gorenstein curves with distinct markings. This classification uncovers new moduli spaces $\bar{\mathcal{M}}{1,n}(Q)$, which we may think of coming from an enrichment of the notion of level used to define Smyth's $m$-stable spaces. Finally, we construct a cube complex of Artin stacks interpolating between the $\bar{\mathcal{M}}{1,n}(Q)$'s, a multidimensional analogue of the wall-and-chamber structure seen in the log minimal model program for $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_g$.
