Summary: The moduli space $${\mathcal M}_g$$ of nonsingular projective curves of genus $$g$$ is compactified into the moduli $$\overline{{\mathcal M}}_g$$ of Deligne-Mumford stable curves of genus $$g$$. We compactify in a similar way the moduli space of abelian varieties by adding some mildly degenerating limits of abelian varieties.
A typical case is the moduli space of Hesse cubits. Any Hesse cubic is GIT-stable in the sense that its SL(3)-orbit is closed in the semistable locus, and conversely any GIT-stable planar cubic is one of Hesse cubics. Similarly in arbitrary dimension, the moduli space of abelian varieties is compactified by adding only GIT-stable limits of abelian varieties (§14).
Our moduli space is a projective “fine” moduli space of possibly degenerate abelian schemes with nonclassical noncommutative level structure over $$\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_N, 1/N]$$ for some $$N\geq 3$$. The objects at the boundary are singular schemes, called PSQASes, projectively stable quasi-abelian schemes.
