    Let \(G\) be a finite subgroup of \(U(m)\) acting freely on \(\mathbb{C}^m \setminus 0\). Then \(\mathbb{C}^m / G\) has an isolated singularity at \(0\). Let X be a resolution of \(\mathbb{C}^m / G\). The author studies Ricci flat Asymptotically Locally Euclidean (ALE) Kähler metrics on X. The Kähler metric \(g\) on \(X\) is called ALE if \(g\) approximates the Euclidean metric \(h\) on \(\mathbb{C}^m / G\) by \(g=h+O(r^{-2m})\), with appropriate decay in the derivatives of \(g\). The author proves that if \(G \subset\text{SU}(m)\) and \(X\) is a crepant resolution of \(\mathbb{C}^m / G\), then every Kähler class of ALE Kähler metrics on \(X\) contains a unique Ricci-flat ALE Kähler metric. This result is proved using a version of the Calabi conjecture for ALE manifolds. The author also shows that the metrics have holonomy SU\((m)\).
