Key examples:

Term ALE coined by Gibbons & Hawking, 1979.

They wrote down various explicit Ricci-flat ALE4-manifolds they called gravitational instantons.

Their examples have just one end, with

Γ ∼= Z` ⊂ SU(2) ⊂ O(4).

Their examples have just one end, with

The G-H metrics are hyper-Kahler, and were soonrediscovered independently by Hitchin.

Term ALE coined by Gibbons & Hawking, 1979.

They wrote down various explicit Ricci-flat ALE4-manifolds they called gravitational instantons.

Their examples have just one end, with

Γ ∼= Z` ⊂ SU(2) ⊂ O(4).

The G-H metrics are hyper-Kahler, and were soonrediscovered independently by Hitchin.

Compactify M itself by adding CPm−1 at infinity.

Linear system of CPm−1 gives holomorphic map

(M ∪ CPm−1)→ CPmwhich is biholomorphism near CPm−1.

Thus obtain holomorphic map

Φ : M → Cm

which is biholomorphism near infinity.

This has some interesting consequences. . .
