abstract

We study refined asymptotics of scalar-flat ALE four-manifolds in the Tian--Viaclovsky setting, namely for self-dual or anti-self-dual metrics and for metrics with harmonic curvature. Starting from the ALE coordinates obtained by Tian--Viaclovsky, we construct preferred coordinates at infinity and identify the homogeneous $|x|^{-2}$ term in the metric expansion. This term splits canonically into a scalar part determined by the ALE ADM mass and an algebraic Weyl tensor at infinity. As an application, we consider scalar-flat K\"ahler ALE metrics on minimal resolutions $\pi:X\to\mathbb C^2/\Gamma$ of quotient surface singularities. In this case, the leading Weyl tensor at infinity vanishes exactly when the minimal resolution is crepant.

Intrinsic Brown--York Type Mass at Infinity in Four Dimensions
