Abstract

We prove a regularity result for Monge–Ampère equations degenerate along smooth divisor on Kähler manifolds in Donaldson’s spaces of \(\beta \)-weighted functions. We apply this result to study the curvature of Kähler metrics with conical singularities and give a geometric sufficient condition on the divisor for its boundedness.
