For any elliptic K3 surface $\mathfrak{F}: \mathcal{K} \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$, we construct a family of collapsing Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics such that curvatures are uniformly bounded away from singular fibers, and which…

We investigate the collapsing geometry of hyperk\"ahler 4-manifolds. As applications we prove two well-known conjectures in the field. (1) Any collapsed limit of unit-diameter hyperk\"ahler metrics on the K3 manifold is isometric to one of…

In this paper, we construct families of gravitational instantons of type ALG, ALG*, ALH and ALH* using a gluing construction. Away from a finite set of exceptional points, the metric collapses with bounded curvature to a quotient of…

This note extends the construction of $D_{k}$ ALF gravitational instantons in Schroers--Singer to a new case where the nonlinear superposition is given by the $D_{1}$ Atiyah--Hitchin metric and $k-1$ copies of $A_{0}$ Taub-NUT metrics. We…

We prove the instability of conformally K\"ahler, compact or ALF Einstein 4-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature which are not half conformally flat. This applies to all the known examples of gravitational instantons which are not…

We give a classification of toric, Hermitian, Ricci flat, ALF Riemannian metrics in dimension 4, including metrics with conical singularities. The only smooth examples are on one hand the hyperKaehler ALF metrics, on the other hand, the…

We obtain $D_k$ ALF gravitational instantons by a gluing construction which captures, in a precise and explicit fashion, their interpretation as non-linear superpositions of the moduli space of centred $SU(2)$ monopoles, equipped with the…

We study the structure of $\mathfrak{M}_2$, the set of half-dimensional collapsing spaces of hyperk\"ahler metrics on K3 surfaces. We show that $\mathfrak{M}_2$ consists precisely of those underlying metric spaces of integral singular…

Motivated by the picture of mirror symmetry suggested by Strominger, Yau and Zaslow, we made a conjecture concerning the Gromov-Hausdorff limits of Calabi-Yau n-folds (with Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric) as one approaches a large complex…

We study the collapsing behaviour of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a projective Calabi-Yau manifold which admits an abelian fibration, when the volume of the fibers approaches zero. We show that away from the critical locus of the fibration…
