Abstract
On a closed connected oriented manifold we study the space of all Riemannian metrics which admit a non-zero parallel spinor on the universal covering. Such metrics are Ricci-flat, and all known Ricci-flat metrics are of this form. We show the following: The space is a smooth submanifold of the space of all metrics, and its premoduli space is a smooth finite-dimensional manifold. The holonomy group is locally constant on . If is spin, then the dimension of the space of parallel spinors is a locally constant function on .
