Degenerations of Kahler-Einstein Fano manifolds

In this Thesis I investigate how Fano manifolds equipped with a Kahler- Einstein metric can degenerate as metric spaces (in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology) and some of the relations of this question with Algebraic Geometry. A central topic in the Thesis is the study of the deformation theory for sing...
