Main conjecture for Kähler–Einstein cubic surfaces

Let M3ALG:=P19//SL(4,C)\overline{\mathcal{M}_3}^{ALG}:=\mathbb{P}^{19}//SL(4,\mathbb{C}) be the algebraic compactification of the moduli space of cubic surfaces, and let M3GH\overline{\mathcal{M}_3}^{GH} be its Gromov–Hausdorff compactification. Cubic-surface degeneration conjecture. There exists a 2:12:1 ramified covering map

D:M3ALGM3GHD:\overline{\mathcal{M}_3}^{ALG}\longrightarrow\overline{\mathcal{M}_3}^{GH}

such that every Chow-polystable cubic admits a Kähler–Einstein orbifold metric and DD associates to each polystable Del Pezzo cubic its induced metric structure. In particular, Gromov–Hausdorff limits of cubics have at most A1A_1 singularities or exactly 3A23A_2 singularities, and no other normal cubic surface admits a Kähler–Einstein metric. The conjecture gives a precise identification of algebraic and metric compactifications in degree three.
