DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/EDGE2020/4/"
 >On K-stability of some singular del Pezzo surfaces</a>\nby Nivedita Viswa
 nathan (University of Edinburgh) as part of EDGE 2020 (online)\n\n\nAbstra
 ct\nThere has been a lot of development recently in understanding the exis
 tence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds due to the Yau-Tian-Don
 aldson conjecture\, which gives us a way of looking at this problem in ter
 ms of the notion of K-stability. In particular\, this problem is solved in
  totality for smooth del Pezzo surfaces by Tian. For del Pezzo surfaces wi
 th quotient singularities\, there are partial results. In this talk\, we w
 ill consider singular del Pezzo surfaces which are quasi-smooth\, well-for
 med hypersurfaces in weighted projective space\, and understand what we ca
 n say about their K-stability. This is joint work with In-Kyun Kim and Joo
 nyeong Won.\n
