Abstract

We prove that a certain class of ALE spaces always has a Kahler conformal compactification, and moreover provide explicit formulas for the conformal factor and the Kahler potential of said compactification. We then apply this to give a new and simple construction of the canonical Bochner-Kähler metric on certain weighted projective spaces, and also to explicitly construct a family Kahler edge-cone metrics on \mathbbCP2, with singular set \mathbbCP1, having cone angles 2πβ for all β>0. We conclude by discussing how these results can be used to obtain certain well-known Einstein metrics.
