Abstract: K-stability is an algebraic notion that detects when a smooth Fano variety admits a Kahler-Einstein metric. Recently, there has been significant progress on constructing moduli spaces of K-polystable Fano varieties using algebraic methods. One of the remaining open problems is to show that these moduli spaces are proper. In this talk, I will discuss work with Daniel Halpern-Leistner, Yuchen Liu, and Chenyang Xu, in which we reduce the properness of such K-moduli spaces to the existence of certain optimal destabilization of Fano varieties.
