Abstract: We show that the complex hyperbolic metrics defined by Deligne-Mostow and Thurston on ${mathcalM}_{0,n}$ are singular K"ahler-Einstein metrics when ${mathcalM}_{0,n}$ is embedded in the Deligne-Mumford-Knudsen compactification $overline{mathcalM}_{0,n}$. As a consequence, we obtain a formula computing the volumes of ${mathcalM}_{0,n}$ with respect to these metrics using intersection of boundary divisors of $overline{mathcalM}_{0,n}$. In the case of rational weights, following an idea of Y. Kawamata, we show that these metrics actually represent the first Chern class of some line bundles on $overline{mathcalM}_{0,n}$, from which other formulas computing the same volumes are derived.
