Abstract

Typical existence result on Ricci-flat metrics is in manifolds of finite geometry, that is, on F=FˉDF=\bar F-D where Fˉ\bar F is a compact K\"ahler manifold and DD is a smooth divisor. We view this existence problem from a different perspective. For a given complex manifold XX, we take a suitable exhaustion {Xr}r>0\{X_r\}_{r>0} admitting complete \ke s of negative Ricci. Taking a positive decreasing sequence {λr}r>0,limrλr=0\{\lambda_r\}_{r>0}, \lim_{r\to\infty}\lambda_r=0, we rescale the metric so that grg_r is the complete \ke\ in XrX_r of Ricci curvature λr-\lambda_r. The idea is to show the limiting metric limrgr\lim_{r\to\infty} g_r does exist. If so, it is a Ricci-flat metric in XX. Several examples: X=CnX=\mathbb C^n and X=TMX=TM where MM is a compact rank-one symmetric space have been studied in this article. The existence of complete \ke s of negative Ricci in bounded domains of holomorphy is well-known. Nevertheless, there is very few known for unbounded cases. In the last section we show the existence, through exhaustion, of such kind of metric in the unbounded domain TπHnT^{\pi}H^n.
