Here, s is the usual scalar curvature, B is the traceless Ricci tensor (in an unusual guise), and the W± are, respectively, the self-dual and anti-selfdual Weyl tensors. (The metric is Einstein if B — 0, and it is conformally flat if W+ and 2Γ. are both zero.) (a) Existence. Given that this preamble is understood (and [1] is the canonical reference), it can be said that the purpose of this article is to discuss metrics with W+ — 0. We give the main result: Theorem 1.1. Let M be a smooth, compact, oriented, 4-dimensional manifold. Use CP to denote complex projective 2-space with the opposite of its complex orientation. Use # to denote the operation of connect sum. For all sufficiently large N, MN = M#N£P 2 admits a metric with W+=0. Remark that the connect sum of manifolds X and Y is obtained from their disjoint union by cutting out an open ball in X and one in Y and then identifying the two resulting boundary 3-spheres.
