4. Geometry of Moduli Spaces

    1. Diameter of Moduli of Kahler-Einstein Metrics of General Type

      Problem 4.1.

      [Jacob Sturm] Does the moduli space of Kahler-Einstein manifolds of general type equipped with the Weil-Petersen metric have bounded diameter? It is known that local potentials are continuous up to the boundary. Also, is the $p$-Nash entropy of the Weil-Petersen metric bounded (with respect to the Euclidean reference metric)?

      This is known to be true for curves. What about with respect to the Hodge metric?
        • Properness of Harmonic Map Energy

          Problem 4.2.

          [Yingying Zhang] Given a Teichmuller space of Kahler-Einstein manifolds (this is the universal cover of the moduli space) of general type, the energy functional for maps into a Riemannian manifold with Hermitian nonpositive curvature is plurisubharmonic. Is this functional also proper? This is related to degenerations of Kahler-Einstein manifolds of general type, and to understanding the boundary of the Teichmuller space.

          This is known for higher-genus curves [Schoen-Yau].
