This paper provides a classification result for gravitational instantons with cubic volume growth and cyclic fundamental group at infinity. It proves that a complete hyperkähler manifold asymptotic to a circle fibration over the Euclidean three-space is either the standard $\rl^3 \times \sph^1$ or a multi-Taub-NUT mani…
We study finite action anti-self-dual Yang-Mills connections on the multi-Taub-NUT space. We establish the curvature and the harmonic spinors decay rates and compute the index of the associated Dirac operator. This is the first in a series of papers proving the completeness of the bow construction of instantons on mult…
Explicit construction of the basic SU(2) anti-instantons over the multi-Taub--NUT geometry via the classical conformal rescaling method is exhibited. These anti-instantons satisfiy the so-called weak holonomy condition at infinity with respect to the trivial flat connection and decay rapidly. The resulting unital energ…
In this paper we explicitly calculate the analogue of the 't Hooft SU(2) Yang--Mills instantons on Gibbons--Hawking multi-centered gravitational instantons which come in two parallel families: the multi-Eguchi--Hanson, or A_k ALE gravitational instantons and the multi-Taub--NUT, or A_k ALF gravitational instantons. We …
Definition of the partition function of U(1) gauge theory is extended to a class of four-manifolds containing all compact spaces and certain asymptotically locally flat (ALF) ones including the multi-Taub--NUT spaces. The partition function is calculated via zeta-function regularization with special attention to its mo…
We investigate Yang--Mills instanton theory over four dimensional asymptotically locally flat (ALF) geometries, including gravitational instantons of this type, by exploiting the existence of a natural smooth compactification of these spaces introduced by Hausel--Hunsicker--Mazzeo. First referring to the codimension 2 …
In this essay, we study the sufficient and necessary conditions for a Randers metrc to be of constant Ricci curvature without the restriction of strong convexity (regularity). The classification result for the case ∥β∥α>1 is provided, which is similar to the famous Bao-Robles-Shen's result for strongly convex Rand…
We prove the equivalences of several classical complete metrics on the Teichmüller and the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. We use as bridge two new Kähler metrics, the Ricci metric and the perturbed Ricci metric and prove that the perturbed Ricci metric is a complete Kähler metric with bounded negative holomorphic s…
We consider geometries on the space of Riemannian metrics conformally equivalent to the widely studied Ebin L^2 metric. Among these we characterize a distinguished metric that can be regarded as a generalization of Calabi's metric on the space of Kähler metrics to the space of Riemannian metrics, and we study its geome…
We study the geodesic equation for the Dirichlet (gradient) metric in the space of Kaehler potentials. We first solve the initial value problem for the geodesic equation of the combination metric, including the gradient metric. We then discuss a comparison theorem between it and the Calabi metric. As geometric motivati…

In this paper, we study an important class of Finsler metrics--square metrics. We give two expressions of such metrics in terms of a Riemannian metric and a 1-form. We show that Einstein square metrics can be classified up to the classification of Einstein Riemannian metrics.
The study characterizes Finsler metrics and proves their rigidity.
problem Characterizing and proving rigidity of Busemann convex Finsler metrics.
method Proving Finsler metrics are nonpositively curved if and only if they are affinely equivalent to a Riemannian metric of nonpositive sectional curvature.
result Finsler metrics are precisely Berwald metrics of nonpositive flag curvature.
Douglas metrics are metrics with vanishing Douglas curvature which is an important projective invariant in Finsler geometry. To find more Douglas metrics, in this paper we consider a class of Finsler metrics called general (α,β)-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric α=aij(x)yiyj and a 1-fo…
In this paper, we give two classes of positive semi-definite metrics on 2-manifolds. The one is called a class of Kossowski metrics and the other is called a class of Whitney metrics: The pull-back metrics of wave fronts which admit only cuspidal edges and swallowtails in R3 are Kossowski metrics, and t…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of Einstein-reversibility for Finsler met- rics. We study a class of p-power Finsler metrics determined by a Riemann metric and 1-form which are of Einstein-reversibility. It shows that such a class of Finsler metrics of Einstein-reversibility are always Einstein metrics. In parti…
In this paper, we study generalized Douglas-Weyl (α,β)-metrics. Suppose that an regular (α,β)-metric F is not of Randers type. We prove that F is a generalized Douglas-Weyl metric with vanishing S-curvature if and only if it is a Berwald metric. Moreover by ignoring the regularity, if F is not a Berwald met…
