Abstract

We study degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations of the form (ω+ddcφ)n=etφμ(\omega+dd^c \varphi)^n = e^{t \varphi} \mu where ω\omega is a big semi-positive form on a compact K\"ahler manifold XX of dimension nn, tR+t \in \R^+, and μ=fωn\mu=f\omega^n is a positive measure with density fLp(X,ωn)f\in L^p(X,\omega^n), p>1p>1. We prove the existence and unicity of bounded ω\omega-plurisubharmonic solutions. We also prove that the solution is continuous under a further technical condition. In case XX is projective and ω=ψω\omega=\psi^*\omega', where ψ:XV\psi:X\to V is a proper birational morphism to a normal projective variety, [ω]NSR(V)[\omega']\in NS_{\R} (V) is an ample class and μ\mu has only algebraic singularities, we prove that the solution is smooth in the regular locus of the equation. We use these results to construct singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics of non-positive curvature on projective klt pairs, in particular on canonical models of algebraic varieties of general type.
