Abstract
In this talk we will discuss issues related to the existence of a moduli
space for varieties of general type. Recall that varieties of general
type are the higher dimensional analog of Riemann surfaces of genus at
least 2. We will explain recent results on the boundedness of these
varieties (once we fix certain invariants, these varieties are expected
to be parametrized by finitely many finite dimensional parameter spaces)
and on the geometry of their possible degenerations.
