Abstract

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 or a Multi-Taub-NUT manifold. In particular, the underlying complex manifold is either ℂ × ℂ/ℤ or a minimal resolution of a cyclic Kleinian singularity.
