Abstract: Let M be a complete Ricci-flat Kahler manifold with one end and assume that this end converges at an exponential rate to [0,infty)imesX for some compact connected Ricci-flat manifold X. We begin by proving general structure theorems for M; in particular we show that there is no loss of generality in assuming that M is simply-connected and irreducible with Hol(M) = SU(n), where n is the complex dimension of M. If n>2 we then show that there exists a projective orbifold and a divisor in with torsion normal bundle such that M is biholomorphic to , thereby settling a long-standing question of Yau in the asymptotically cylindrical setting. We give examples where is not smooth: the existence of such examples appears not to have been noticed previously. Conversely, for any such pair we give a short and self-contained proof of the existence and uniqueness of exponentially asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau metrics on .
