We will discuss various valuative criteria for algebraic stacks that hold for many moduli problems parameterizing objects that may have positive dimensional stabilizers (eg. semistable vector bundles over a curve). We have three applications in mind: (1) existence of Cartan—Iwahori decompositions for reductive groups, (2) semistable reduction theorems for moduli problems, and (3) existence of moduli schemes/algebraic spaces parameterizing objects up to S-equivalence.
This is joint work with Daniel Halpern-Leistner and Jochen Heinloth.
