Kronheimer–Ricci-flat metric coincidence conjecture for the resolved threefold

Let Y[3]ΓY^\Gamma_{[3]} be the resolved threefold carrying a line-bundle structure, and let ED\mathcal{ED} denote its exceptional divisor. Write dsKro2[Y[3]Γ]\mathrm{ds}^2_{Kro}[Y^\Gamma_{[3]}] for the Kronheimer Kähler metric and dsRicflat2[Y[3]Γ]\mathrm{ds}^2_{Ricflat}[Y^\Gamma_{[3]}] for a Ricci-flat metric on the same manifold, with the same isometries and asymptotically locally flat behavior.

Kronheimer–Ricci-flat coincidence conjecture. The two metrics are different on Y[3]ΓY^\Gamma_{[3]}, but they coincide on the exceptional divisor ED\mathcal{ED}.

This is a more specific formulation of the metric comparison for the resolved threefold. The source notes that the Ricci-flat metric is more precisely quasi-ALE and attributes that terminology to Joyce; it gives no resolution status for the conjecture.
