Abstract

There are two known classes of gravitational instantons with quadratic volume growth at infinity, known as type ALG and ALG^*. Gravitational instantons of type ALG were previously classified by Chen-Chen. In this paper, we prove a classification theorem for ALG^* gravitational instantons. We determine the topology and prove existence of "uniform" coordinates at infinity for both ALG and ALG^* gravitational instantons. We also prove a result regarding the relationship between ALG gravitational instantons of order n\mathfrak{n} and those of order 22.
