Abstract
Consider a compact Kähler manifold X with a simple normal crossing divisor D, and define Poincaré type metrics on X\D as Kähler metrics on X\D with cusp singularities along D. We prove that the existence of a constant scalar curvature (resp. an extremal) Poincaré type Kähler metric on X\D implies the existence of a constant scalar curvature (resp. an extremal) Kähler metric, possibly of Poincaré type, on every component of D. We also show that when the divisor is smooth, the constant scalar curvature/extremal metric on X\D is asymptotically a product near the divisor.
