Abstract

We study the one-parameter family of generalized Kahler Taub-NUT metrics (discovered by Donaldson), along with two exceptional Taub-NUT-like instantons, and understand them to the extent that should be sufficient for blow-up and gluing arguments. In particular we parameterize their geodesics from the origin, determine curvature fall-off rates and volume growth rates for metric balls, and find blow-down limits.
