Abstract
We study the space of square-integrable harmonic forms over ALF gravitational instantons of type and of type . We first calculate its dimension making use of a result by Hausel, Hunsicker and Mazzeo which relates the Hodge cohomology of a gravitational instanton to the singular cohomology of a particular compactification of . We then exhibit an explicit basis, exact for and approximate for , and interpret geometrically the relations between , and their cohomologies.
