课程摘要：
The aim of the course is to explore a number of different constructions of non-compact hyper kähler manifolds, in particular in dimension 4. Hyperkähler geometry, in Joyce’s words, “form(s) a beautiful and rich branch of mathematics” and the course is an attempt to describe some aspects of this theory.
We will start with the first examples of hyperkähler metrics given by Calabi, we will then discuss the hyperkähler quotient construction of Kronheimer’s ALE spaces, the Taub�NUT metric and the construction of complete hyperkähler manifolds as moduli spaces of solutions to the Yang�Mills anti-self-duality equations.
One motivation for studying complete non-compact Ricci-flat manifolds is the understanding of the moduli space of compact Einstein metrics and their degenerations. As an illustration of this point, we will describe the construction of the Calabi-Yau metric on the Kummer surface by gluing methods.
