Abstract

This is our second paper in a series to study gravitational instantons, i.e. complete hyperk\"aler 4-manifolds with faster than quadratic curvature decay. We prove two main theorems: 1.The asymptotic rate of gravitational instantons to the standard models can be improved automatically. 2.Any ALF-D_k gravitational instanton must be the Cherkis-Hitchin-Ivanov-Kapustin-Lindstr\"om-Ro\v{c}ek metric.
