Kähler-Einstein metrics on log del Pezzo surfaces in weighted projective 3-spaces (Q5928019)

The authors present a list of log del Pezzo surfaces which are anticanonically embedded in a weighted projective space as quasi-smooth hypersurfaces. There are 22 different sporadic types and one infinite series. They show that for all types (except four where the answer is unknown), the del Pezzo surface admits a Kähler-Einstein orbifold metric. The crucial tool here is a result of A. Nadel, J.-P. Demailly and J. Kollár which asserts that an \(n\)-dimensional Fano variety \(X\) with at most quotient singularities admits a Kähler-Einstein orbifold metric if there is an \(\varepsilon>0\) such that the pair \((X,{n+\varepsilon\over n+1}D)\) is Kawamata log-terminal (klt) for every effective \(\mathbb{Q}\)-divisor \(D\equiv-K_X\). A pair \((X,Q)\) as above which is not klt is called a tiger [see \textit{S. Keel} and \textit{J. McKernan}, ``Rational curves on quasi-projective surfaces'', Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 669 (1999; Zbl 0955.14031)]. For each of the types (except four), the authors check whether the del Pezzo surface admits a tiger.
