Abstract

A construction of Kähler-Einstein metrics using Galois coverings, studied by ArezzoGhigi-Pirola, is generalized to orbifolds. By applying it to certain orbifold covers of ℂℙⁿ which are trivial set theoretically, one obtains new Einstein metrics on odd-dimensional spheres. The method also gives Kähler-Einstein metrics on degree 2 Del Pezzo surfaces with A₁- or A₂-singularities.
