Bubbling out of Einstein manifolds (Q2640158)

A smooth n-dimensional complete Riemannian orbifold (X,g) is called asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE, for short) if there exists a compact subset \(K\subset X\) such that \(X\setminus K\) has coordinates at infinity. The author proves the following: assume that the sequence \((X_ i,g_ i)\) consists of Einstein-Kähler surfaces. If we fix a sufficiently small constant \(\delta >0\), then for sufficiently large j, the geodesic ball \(B(X_ 0,j;\delta)\) in \(X_ j\) is diffeomorphic to a cyclic quotient of an ALE gravitational instanton.
