Finite-topological-type conjecture for gravitational instantons

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a gravitational instanton. Finite-topological-type conjecture. The manifold MM has finite topological type, meaning that it can be compactified into a smooth manifold with boundary. The assertion is known under faster-than-quadratic curvature decay, but is presented as open for general gravitational instantons.
