    \textit{X.-J. Wang} and \textit{X. Zhu} [Adv. Math. 188, No. 1, 87--103 (2004; Zbl 1086.53067)] proved the existence of Kähler-Ricci solitons, unique up to holomorphic automorphisms, on any toric Kähler manifold with positive first Chern class. In the paper under review, this result is extended to the class of toric Fano orbifolds. In fact, the authors prove the existence of a \(T\)-invariant Kähler-Ricci soliton metric on any toric Fano orbifold \(X\). Similarly to the manifold case, the soliton metric is Einstein if and only if the Futaki invariant of \(X\) vanishes. In order to prove their result, the authors use the toric action to rewrite the soliton equation in terms of a real Monge-Ampère equation then adapting the argument of the above-cited paper, to establish various a priori estimates.
