K\"ahler-Einstein cone metrics and parabolic bundles
Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold, let $D=\sum_iD_i$ be a simple normal crossing divisor, and fix $\beta_i\in(0,1)$. We introduce a parabolic structure $TX_*$ on $TX$, given along each $D_i$ by the filtration $0\subset TD_i\subset TX|_{D_i}$ with weight $w_i=1-\beta_i$ on the normal quotient. If $X\setminus D$ car...
