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 the product of a real line with a flat 3-manifold.
This is our third paper in a series on the gravitational instantons. In this paper, we classify ALG and ALH gravitational instantons. In ALG case, we extend Hein's construction slightly and show that it's the only ALG gravitational instanton. In ALH case, we prove a Torelli-type theorem.
