Higher regularity for singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics

Differential Geometry 2024-10-24 v1

Abstract

We study singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics that are obtained as non-collapsed limits of polarized K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds. Our main result is that if the metric tangent cone at a point is locally isomorphic to the germ of the singularity, then the metric converges to the metric on its tangent cone at a polynomial rate on the level of K\"ahler potentials. When the tangent cone at the point has a smooth cross section, then the result implies polynomial convergence of the metric in the usual sense, generalizing a result due to Hein-Sun. We show that a similar result holds even in certain cases where the tangent cone is not locally isomorphic to the germ of the singularity. Finally we prove a rigidity result for complete ˉ\partial\bar\partial-exact Calabi-Yau metrics with maximal volume growth. This generalizes a result of Conlon-Hein, which applies to the case of asymptotically conical manifolds.
