Abstract: I will report Berman's paper on the K-stalility of Q-Fano varieties admitting Kahler-Einstein metrics. It is shown that any, possibly singular, Fano variety X admitting a Kahler-Einstein metric is K-polystable, thus confirming one direction of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture in the setting of Q-Fano varieties equipped with their anti-canonical polarization.
