Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate uniqueness of conic constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metrics, when the cone angle is less than \(\pi \). We introduce a new Hölder space called \({\mathcal {C}}^{4,\alpha ,\beta }\) to study the regularities of this fourth order elliptic equation, and prove that any \({\mathcal {C}}^{2,\alpha ,\beta }\) conic cscK metric is indeed of class \({\mathcal {C}}^{4,\alpha ,\beta }\). Finally, the reductivity is established by a careful study of the conic Lichnerowicz operator.
