In this nice article the author constructs infinitely many complete Calabi-Yau metrics on \(\mathbb{C}^n\) for \(n\geq 3\), with maximal volume growth and singular tangent cones at infinity. In addition, he constructs Calabi-Yau metrics in neighborhoods of certain isolated singularities whose tangent cones have singular cross section, generalizing work of Hein and Naber. In particular, these examples give counterexamples to a conjecture of \textit{G. Tian} [Nankai Tracts Math. 11, 381--397 (2006; Zbl 1145.53030)], stating that the flat metric is the unique Calabi-Yau metric on \(\mathbb{C}^n\) with maximal volume growth.
