Murphy's Law for Algebraic Stacks
read the original abstract
We show that various natural algebro-geometric moduli stacks, including the stack of curves, have the property that every Deligne-Mumford gerbe over a field appears as the residual gerbe of one of their points. These gerbes are universal obstructions for objects of the stack to be defined over their fields of moduli, and for the corresponding coarse moduli space to be fine. Thus, our results show that many natural moduli stacks hold objects that are obstructed from being defined over their fields of moduli in every possible way, and have coarse spaces which fail to be fine moduli spaces in every possible way. A basic insight enabling our arguments is that many classical constructions in equivariant projective geometry generalize to the setting of relative geometry over an arbitrary Deligne-Mumford gerbe over a field.

Fields of Moduli of Smooth del Pezzo Surfaces
Every smooth del Pezzo surface of degree at least 3 over an algebraically closed field in characteristic 0 is defined over its field of moduli, but degree-1 and degree-2 counterexamples exist over C/R.

Neutral representations in dimension $\leq 3$ and fields of moduli
Neutral faithful representations of finite groups are fully classified in dimension ≤3, with a general neutrality criterion for abelian groups and a normalizer theory for gerbe morphisms that depends only on geometric type.

A note on complex Lie Algebras isomorphic to their conjugate
A 10-dimensional nilpotent complex Lie algebra exists that is isomorphic to its conjugate but not defined over the reals, disproving Deré's conjecture, with the generic obstruction computed in terms of Brauer groups.
