A complete Kähler metric on ℂn of nonnegative Ricci curvature with Euclidean volume growth and nonunique asymptotic cone
Abstract
We construct complete smooth Kähler metrics on ℂn , n≥2, with nonnegative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth, and nonunique tangent cones at infinity. More generally, we prescribe the entire tangent cone set within a class of smooth Hopf cones, using a compact connected family of positive transverse Ricci forms on ℂℙn−1. We identify all metric blow-downs and their Ricci currents, compute the exact asymptotic volume ratio, and classify isometries between the model cones. In particular, the Kähler condition does not ensure uniqueness at infinity under nonnegative Ricci curvature and Euclidean volume growth, even in complex dimension two.
