      The authors show that Kähler-Einstein geometry fits in with the theory of minimal models for normal surfaces with branch loci. From this they obtain an inequality of Miyaoka-Yau type for canonical normal surfaces with branch loci and with at worst log-canonical singularities and the equality characterizes ball quotients with finite volume. Details of this note can be found in \textit{F. Sakai}'s survey paper [Algebraic geometry, Proc. Summer Res. Inst., Brunswick/Maine 1985, part 1, Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 46, 451-465 (1987; Zbl 0636.14013), \textit{M. Nakamura}'s master thesis (Saitama University 1989), and \textit{R. Kobayashi}'s article [Uniformization of complex surfaces (preprint)].
