TY - JOUR T1 - Expanded degenerations and pairs JF - Communications in Algebra. Volume 41, Issue 6, May 2013, Pages 2346-2386 Y1 - 2013 A1 - Dan Abramovich A1 - Charles Cadman A1 - Barbara Fantechi A1 - Jonathan Wise KW - Expanded pairs AB - Since Jun Li's original definition, several other definitions of expanded pairs and expanded degenerations have appeared in the literature. We explain how these definitions are related and introduce several new variants and perspectives. Among these are the twisted expansions used by Abramovich and Fantechi as a basis for orbifold techniques in degeneation formulas.
