Gromov-Hausdorff limits of Kähler manifolds and algebraic geometry. II (Q1700303)

Given a sequence \((X_{i},L_{i},\omega_{i}, p_{i})\) of \(n\)-dimensional polarized Kähler manifolds one can obtain a (pointed) Gromov-Hausdorff limit \((Z,p)\). This length space has a decomposition \(Z=R\cup \Sigma\). Considering the structure sheaf \(\mathcal{O}_{R}\) and the inclusion \(\iota:R\rightarrow Z\), the authors define \(\mathcal{O}_{Z}=\iota_{*}\mathcal{O}_{R}.\) Then, they prove that \((Z,\mathcal{O}_{Z})\) is a normal complex analytic space. When the limit space \((Z,p)\) is non-compact, the authors study the algebraicity of \(Z\). If \(R(Z)\) is the ring of holomorphic functions on \(Z\) with polynomial growth at infinity they show that \(R(Z)\) is finitely generated. Furthermore, Spec\((R(Z))\) is an affine algebraic variety which is complex analytically isomorphic to \((Z,\mathcal{O}_{Z})\). The authors include several other results and the main application of these results is to study Kähler-Einstein metrics with positive Ricci curvature.
