Abstract: We show that, on the connected sum of complex projective planes, any toric LeBrun metric can be identified with a Joyce metric admitting a semi-free circle action through an explicit conformal equivalence. A crucial ingredient of the proof is an explicit connection form for toric LeBrun metrics.

Review text

First, the authors present the construction of LeBrun's self dual hyperbolic monopole metrics. They consider a subclass of LeBrun metrics, toric LeBrun metrics (a LeBrun metric admits a torus action if and only if the monopole points belong to a common hyperbolic geodesic). The second class of metrics considered in this paper are the metrics on \(n\mathbb CP^2\) introduced by \textit{D. D. Joyce} in [Duke Math. J. 77, No. 3, 519--552 (1995; Zbl 0855.57028)].NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEIn the paper an explicit connection for any toric LeBrun metric is found and it is used to prove the main result,NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINETheorem 1.1: On \(n\mathbb CP^2\), the class of toric LeBurn metrics and the class of Joyce metrics admitting a semi-free circle action are the same, and any metric of the first class can be identified with a metric of the second class through an explicit conformal equivalence.
