Self-dual gravity via Hitchin's equations

In this work half-flat metrics are obtained from Hitchin's equations. The SU$(\infty)$ Hitchin's equations are obtained and as a consequence of them, the Husain-Park equation is found. Considering that the gauge group is SU$(2)$, some solutions associated to Liouville, sinh-Gordon and Painlev\'e III equations are taken and, through Moyal deformations, solutions of the SU$(\infty)$ Hitchin's equations are obtained. From these solutions, hamiltonian vector fields are determined, which in turn are used to construct the half-flat metrics. Following an approach of Dunajski, Mason and Woodhouse, it is also possible to construct half-flat metrics on ${\cal M} \times\mathbb{CP}^{1}$.
