Poincar\'e-Einstein 4-manifolds with cusps
Abstract
In this paper, we construct Poincar\'e-Einstein 4-manifolds with various kinds of cusps. In particular, we construct: (1) Infinite families of Einstein metrics on , where is a principal -bundle over , with one Poincar\'e-Einstein end and one end asymptotic to a real or complex hyperbolic cusp. (2) Infinite families of Einstein metrics on , where is a principal -bundle over a closed Riemann surface of genus , with one Poincar\'e-Einstein end and one end asymptotic to a bundle of two-dimensional hyperbolic cusps over hyperbolic . Universal covers of (1) and (2) provide new complete negative Einstein metrics on . These Einstein metrics also exhibit interesting degeneration phenomena. With this construction, we give a negative answer to a question of Anderson concerning cusp formation for Poincar\'e-Einstein 4-manifolds.
