Abstract

Let \(p:X\rightarrow Y\) be a surjective holomorphic mapping between Kähler manifolds. Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in X such that every generic fiber \(D_y:=D\cap p^{-1}(y)\) for \(y\in Y\) is a strongly pseudoconvex domain in \(X_y:=p^{-1}(y)\), which admits the complete Kähler–Einstein metric. This family of Kähler–Einstein metrics induces a smooth (1, 1)-form \(\rho \) on D. In this paper, we prove that \(\rho \) is positive-definite on D if D is strongly pseudoconvex. We also discuss the extension of \(\rho \) as a positive current across singular fibers.
