Extract

Let g denote the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces of genus g > 3. It is known that g is a non-complete quasi-projective variety that contains many complete curves. This is because the Satake compactification g of g is projective and the boundary \ has co-dimension 2; thus by intersecting with hypersurfaces in sufficiently general position one obtains a complete curve in g passing through any given set of points [8].
