Abstract

We prove that a certain class of ALE spaces always has a Kahler conformal compactification, and moreover provide explicit formulas for the conformal factor and the Kahler potential of said compactification. We then apply this to give a new and simple construction of the canonical Bochner-K\"ahler metric on certain weighted projective spaces, and also to explicitly construct a family Kahler edge-cone metrics on CP2\mathbb{CP}^2, with singular set CP1\mathbb{CP}^1, having cone angles 2πβ2\pi\beta for all β>0\beta>0. We conclude by discussing how these results can be used to obtain certain well-known Einstein metrics.
