Abstract:
We study degenerations of smooth projective varieties with trivial canonical bundle, and discuss equivalences that the finiteness of the Weil-Petersson distance, the uniform boundedness of diameters with respect to Kähler-Einstein metrics, and that the limit variety has canonical singularities at worst.

Keywords: Weil-Petersson metric, degeneration, canonical singularity, Calabi-Yau manifold, Ricci-flat.
