Abstract

The Dirichlet problem for a Monge–Ampère equationcorresponding to a non-negative, possible degeneratecohomology class on a Kähler manifold with boundary isstudied. $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates away from a divisor areobtained, by combining techniques of Blocki, Tsuji, Yau and pluripotential theory. In particular, $C^{1,\alpha}$geodesic rays in the space of Kähler potentials areconstructed for each test configuration.
