Summary:Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mathematics, 2006. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 59-60). === In this thesis, we describe the asymptotic behavior of complete Ricci-flat Kihler metrics on open manifolds that can be compactified by adding a smooth, ample divisor. This result provides an answer to a question addressed to by Tian and Yau in [TY1], therefore refining the main result in that paper. === by Bianca Santoro. === Ph.D.
