Moduli of abelian varieties: homology and compactifications

Complex abelian varieties are algebraic complex tori that appear in various problems of geometric and arithmetic nature. Thus classifying abelian varieties is a natural problem. In this talk we will survey the knowledge of the geometry of the moduli space of abelian varieties, including geometrically defined subvarieties, homology classes, intersection rings. These questions will naturally lead us to study compactifications of the moduli spaces, and we will discuss the stable and tautological homology for these moduli spaces.
