Description

This volume is an outcome of the workshop “Moduli of K-stable Varieties”, which was held in Rome, Italy in 2017. The content focuses on the existence problem for canonical K√§hler metrics and links to the algebro-geometric notion of K-stability. The book includes both surveys on this problem, notably in the case of Fano varieties, and original contributions addressing this and related problems. The papers in the latter group develop the theory of K-stability; explore canonical metrics in the K√§hler and almost-K√§hler settings; offer new insights into the geometric significance of K-stability; and develop tropical aspects of the moduli space of curves, the singularity theory necessary for higher dimensional moduli theory, and the existence of minimal models. Reflecting the advances made in the area in recent years, the survey articles provide an essential overview of many of the most important findings.¬†The book is intended for all advanced graduate students and researchers who want to learn about recent developments in the theory of moduli space, K-stability and K√§hler-Einstein metrics.
