Kahler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds

Tian and Yau have introduced alpha-invariants in order to study Kahler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds. Later, Kollar and Demailly showed that the alpha-invariant can be translated into log canonical threshold, an important invariant in birational geometry. I will briefly explain the relation between Kahler-Einstein metric and log canonical threshold and then study examples to show how to compute the alpha-invariants using log canonical thresholds.
