Moduli of cubic surfaces and their anticanonical divisors
  We consider the moduli space of log smooth pairs formed by a cubic surface and an anticanonical divisor. We describe all compactifications of this moduli space which are constructed using Geometric Invariant Theory and the anticanonical polarization. The construction depends on a weight on the divisor. For smaller weights the stable pairs consist of mildly singular surfaces and very singular divisors. Conversely, a larger weight allows more singular surfaces, but it restricts the singularities on the divisor. The one-dimensional space of stability conditions decomposes in a wall-chamber structure. We describe all the walls and relate their value to the worst singularities appearing in the compactification locus. Furthermore, we give a complete characterization of stable and polystable pairs in terms of their singularities for each of the compactifications considered.
