Asymptotic behavior of complete Ricci-flat metrics on open manifolds

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.
