Event description: 

Ana-Maria Castravet and Jenia Tevelev have recently proved that the moduli space of stable n-pointed genus zero curves is not a Mori Dream Space when n is at least 134. We build on their work to obtain the same conclusion when n is at least 13. This talk is a report on joint work with Kalle Karu.
