Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) is a powerful theory for constructing and studying the geometry of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry. In this talk I will give an overview of a recent generalisation of GIT called Non-Reductive GIT , and explain how it can be used to construct and study the geometry of new moduli spaces. These include moduli spaces of unstable objects, hypersurfaces in weighted projective space, k-jets of curves in ℂⁿ and curve singularities.
