Lectures on Moduli of Curvesby D. Gieseker - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
These lecture notes are based on some lectures given in 1980. The object of the lectures was to construct a projective moduli space for stable curves of genus greater than or equal two using Mumford's geometric invariant theory.
