In this paper, we study gravitational instantons (i.e., complete hyperk\"aler 4-manifolds with faster than quadratic curvature decay). We prove three main theorems: 1.Any gravitational instanton must have known end----ALE, ALF, ALG or ALH.…

We prove Torelli-type uniqueness theorems for both ALG$^*$ gravitational instantons and ALG gravitational instantons which are of order $2$. That is, the periods uniquely characterize these types of gravitational instantons up to…

There are two known classes of gravitational instantons with quadratic volume growth at infinity, known as type ALG and ALG$^*$. Gravitational instantons of type ALG were previously classified by Chen-Chen. In this paper, we prove a…

This is our second paper in a series to study gravitational instantons, i.e. complete hyperk\"aler 4-manifolds with faster than quadratic curvature decay. We prove two main theorems: 1.The asymptotic rate of gravitational instantons to the…

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…

Based on the uniformization theorems of gravitation instantons by Chen--Chen arXiv:1505.01790, Chen--Viaclovsky arXiv:2110.06498, Collins--Jacob--Lin arXiv:2111.09260, and Hein--Sun--Viaclovsky--Zhang arXiv:2111.09287, we prove that the…

We establish existence and uniqueness results for asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) and asymptotically locally flat (ALF) gravitational instantons. In particular, we prove the existence of a unique, Ricci-flat, toric ALE and ALF…

This paper is the sequel of our previous article "From ALE to ALF gravitational instantons", where we constructed ALF hyperkahler metrics on minimal resolutions of dihedral Kleinian singularities. In the present article we generalize the…

We give a simple and uniform construction of essentially all known deformation classes of gravitational instantons with ALF, ALG or ALH asymptotics and nonzero injectivity radius. We also construct new ALH Ricci flat metrics asymptotic to…

A classification result for Ricci-flat anti-self-dual asymptotically locally Euclidean 4-manifolds is obtained: they are either hyperk\"ahler (one of the gravitational instantons classified by Kronheimer), or they are a cyclic quotient of a…

We present a novel approach to constructing gravitational instantons based on the observation that the gravitational action of general relativity in its teleparallel formulation can be expressed as a product of the torsion and excitation…

It has long been conjectured that the Euclidean Schwarzschild and Euclidean Kerr instantons are the only non-trivial asymptotically flat (AF) gravitational instantons. In this letter, we show that this conjecture is false by explicitly…

The Chen-Teo gravitational instanton is an asymptotically flat, toric, Ricci flat family of metrics on $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\setminus S^1$, that provides a counterexample to the classical Euclidean Black Hole Uniqueness conjecture. In…

A gauge theory can be formulated on a noncommutative (NC) spacetime. This NC gauge theory has an equivalent dual description through the so-called Seiberg-Witten (SW) map in terms of an ordinary gauge theory on a commutative spacetime. We…

For an asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) or asymptotically locally flat (ALF) gravitational instanton $(M,g)$ with toric symmetry, we express the signature of $(M,g)$ directly in terms of its rod structure. Applying…

We study the Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity coupled to Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in three dimensional Euclidean space with cosmological constant. The classical equations reduce to Bogomol'nyi type first order equations in curved space. There…

We point out the existence of some singular, radial, spin-0 instantons for curvature-quadratic gravity theories. They are complex.

All known gravitational instantons with $\Lambda > 0$ ($S^4, CP^2, S^2 \times S^2$ and $CP # \overline{CP}^2$) are described. They are all special cases of the Taub-NUT-$\Lambda$ local solution. Hence they are Type D and are locally…

We prove that the only smooth, Ricci flat, ALE instanton with a toric Hermitian non-K\"ahler structure is the Eguchi-Hanson instanton. The proof is analogous to the classification of toric Hermitian ALF instantons by Biquard and Gauduchon,…

A broad class of higher dimensional instanton solutions are found for a theory which contains gravity, a scalar field and antisymmetric tensor fields of arbitrary rank. The metric used, a warp product of an arbitrary number of any compact…
