I'll pay you to help me with my algebraic geometry homework. Do you know anything about coarse moduli spaces?

From a physics perspective, I relate more to the geometry than the algebra. That is not a property I've cared about before. It does find application in string theory, so we could take it from there, or just talk about stacks and schemes and so forth. But if you want to pursue this, email or PM might be best.
