The Khler-Einstein metric for some Hartogs domains over symmetric domains

We study the complete Kahler-Einstein metric of a Hartogs domainΩbuilt on an irreducible bounded symmetric domainΩ, using a power Nμof the generic norm ofΩ.The generating function of the Kahler-Einstein metric satisfies a complex Monge-Ampere equation with a boundary condition. The domainΩis in general not homogeneous, but it has a subgroup of automorphisms, the orbits of which are parameterized by X∈[0,1[. This allows us to reduce the Monge-Ampere equation to an ordinary differential equation with a limit condition. This equation can be explicitly solved for a special valueμ0 ofμ.. We work out the details for the two exceptional symmetric domains. The special valueμ0 seems also to be significant for the properties of other invariant metrics like the Bergman metric; a conjecture is stated, which is proved for the exceptional domains.
