Abstract We give sufficient conditions for the existence of Kähler–Einstein and constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metrics on finite ramified Galois coverings of a cscK manifold in terms of cohomological conditions on the Kähler classes and the branching divisor. This result generalizes previous work on Kähler–Einstein metrics by Li and Sun [C. Li and S. Sun, Conical Kähler–Einstein metrics revisited, Comm. Math. Phys. 331 2014, 3, 927–973], and extends Chen–Cheng’s existence results for cscK metrics in [X. Chen and J. Cheng, On the constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics (II)—Existence results, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 34 2021, 4, 937–1009].
