We study degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations of the form $(\omega+dd^c \varphi)^n = e^{t \varphi} \mu$ where $\omega$ is a big semi-positive form on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ of dimension $n$, $t \in \R^+$, and $\mu=f\omega^n$…

We study Einstein metrics on smooth compact 4-manifolds with an edge-cone singularity of specified cone angle along an embedded 2-manifold. To do so, we first derive modified versions of the Gauss-Bonnet and signature theorems for arbitrary…

In this paper, we study the boundary behavior of the negatively curved K\"ahler-Einstein metric attached to a log canonical pair $(X,D)$ such that $K_X+D$ is ample. In the case where $X$ is smooth and $D$ has simple normal crossings support…

We study the Dirichlet problem of the Abreu equation. The solutions provide the Kahler metrics of constant scalar curvature on the complex torus.

We show that on Kahler manifolds with negative first Chern class, the sequence of algebraic metrics introduced by H. Tsuji converges uniformly to the Kahler-Einstein metric. For algebraic surfaces of general type and orbifolds with isolated…

We describe two simple obstructions to the existence of Ricci-flat Kahler cone metrics on isolated Gorenstein singularities or, equivalently, to the existence of Sasaki-Einstein metrics on the links of these singularities. In particular,…

In this paper we develop a systematic deformation theory for conic constant curvature metrics on a closed surface when all cone angles are less than $2\pi$; in particular, we define and study the Teichm\"uller space…

In this paper we study the analytic torsion of an odd-dimensional manifold with isolated conical singularities. First we show that the analytic torsion is invariant under deformations of the metric which are of higher order near the…

The K\"ahler cone of a compact manifold carries a natural Riemannian metric, given by the intersection product of its cohomology ring. We write down the curvature tensor of this metric by embedding the K\"ahler cone in the space of…
