Abstract: K-stability of Fano varieties is an algebro-geometric stability condition characterizing the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. Recent progress on K-stability suggests that it provides a good moduli theory for Fano varieties. In this talk, I will explain how K-moduli spaces can help us prove K-stability of smooth cubic hypersurfaces in dimension at most 4, using a local-to-global volume comparison result. Part of this talk is based on joint work with Chenyang Xu.
