Abstract

We construct a family of Kähler–Einstein edge metrics on all Hirzebruch surfaces using the Calabi ansatz and study their angle deformation. This allows us to verify in some special cases a conjecture of Cheltsov–Rubinstein that predicts convergence towards a non-compact Calabi–Yau fibration in the small angle limit. We also give an example of a Kähler–Einstein edge metric whose edge singularity is rigid, answering a question posed by Cheltsov.
