Abstract

Let XX be a smooth complex manifold. Assume that YXY\subset X is a K\"{a}hler submanifold such that XYX\setminus Y is biholomorphic to Cn\mathbb{C}^n. We prove that (X,Y)(X, Y) is biholomorphic to the standard example (Pn,Pn1)(\mathbb{P}^n, \mathbb{P}^{n-1}). We then study certain K\"{a}hler orbifold compactifications of Cn\mathbb{C}^n and, as an application, prove that on C3\mathbb{C}^3 the flat metric is the only asymptotically conical Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metric whose metric cone at infinity has a smooth link. As a key technical ingredient, we derive a new characterization of minimal discrepancy of isolated Fano cone singularities by using S1S^1-equivariant positive symplectic homology.
