In this talk I will give a non-tec hnical introduction to a probabilistic approach to Kähler-Einstein metric s\, which\, in particular\, yields canonical approximations of the Kähler -Einstein metric on $X$. The approximating metrics in question are express ed as explicit period integrals and the conjectural extension to the case of a Fano variety leads to some intriguing connections with Zeta functions and the theory of phase transitions in statistical mechanics.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/Geolis/13/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
