Abstract
We show that the partial compactification of a stratum of Abelian differentials previously considered by Mirzakhani and Wright is not an algebraic variety. Despite this, we use a combination of algebro-geometric and other methods to provide a short, unconditional proof of Mirzakhani and Wright's formula for the tangent space to the boundary of a GL(2,R) orbit closure, and give new results on the structure of the boundary.
