DESCRIPTION:In this lecture we will discuss some technical algebro-geometr
 ic questions which arise in connection with the existence problem for Kahl
 er-Einstein metrics. We will begin by recalling the notion of "b-stability
 "\, which involves birational transformations of a degeneration. We will t
 hen explain how to adapt an argument of Stoppa to make progress towards pr
 oving a Kahler-Einstein manifold is b-stable.\n\n\n
