Abstract: The ""stratum"" is the moduli space of curves together with a differential with prescribed multiplicities of zeroes; it is the phase space of the action of GL(2,R) in Teichmuller dynamics. We construct a smooth geometric compactification of the stratum that carries a universal family. Based on joint work with Matt Bainbridge, Dawei Chen, Quentin Gendron, Martin Moeller.
