TL;DR
This paper classifies moduli spaces of canonical threefolds on the Noether line with prescribed geometric genus, revealing a linear growth in irreducible components and relating threefolds to fibrations in (1,2)-surfaces.
Contribution
It provides an explicit stratification, dimension computation, and irreducible component estimation for these moduli spaces, offering a complete classification and new insights into their structure.
Findings

Relation between threefolds and fibrations in (1,2)-surfaces.
Abstract
In this paper, we study the moduli spaces of canonical threefolds with any prescribed geometric genus which have the smallest possible canonical volume. This minimal volume is equal to the smallest half-integer that is larger than or equal to , and the threefolds in question are said to lie on the (refined) Noether line. For every such moduli space, we establish an explicit stratification, compute the dimension of all strata, and estimate the number of its irreducible components. Thus it yields a complete classification of threefolds on the (refined) Noether line. A new and unexpected phenomenon is that the number of irreducible components of the moduli space grows linearly with , while the moduli space of canonical surfaces on the Noether line with any prescribed geometric genus has at most two irreducible components. The key idea in the…
