摘要

A homogeneous Gibbons Hawking ansatz is described, leading to 4-dimensional hyperkahler metrics with homotheties. In combination with Blaschke products on the unit disc in the complex plane, this ansatz allows one to construct infinite-dimensional families of such hyperkahler metrics that are, in a suitable sense, complete. Our construction also gives rise to incomplete metrics on 3-dimensional contact manifolds that induce complete Carnot-Caratheodory distances.
