LetXbe a canonically polarized variety, i.e. a complex projective variety such that its canonical classKXdefines an ample-line bundle, and satisfying the conditionsG1andS2. Our main result says thatXadmits a Kähler–Einstein metric iffXhas semi-log canonical singularities i.e. iffXis a stable variety in the sense of Kollár–Shepherd-Barron and Alexeev (whose moduli spaces are known to be compact). By definition a Kähler–Einstein metric in this singular context simply means a Kähler–Einstein on the regular locus ofXwith volume equal to the algebraic volume ofKX, i.e. the top intersection number ofKX. We also show that such a metric is uniquely determined and extends to define a canonical positive current inc1(KX). Combined with recent results of Odaka our main result shows thatXadmits a Kähler–Einstein metric iffXisK-stable, which thus confirms the Yau–Tian–Donaldson conjecture in this general setting of (possibly singular) canonically polarized varieties. More generally, our results are shown to hold in the setting of log minimal varieties and they also generalize some prior results concerning Kähler–Einstein metrics on quasi-projective varieties.
