Joyce's coadjoint-orbit conjecture for hyperkähler structures

Let GG be a compact Lie group with Lie algebra g\mathfrak g, let GcG^c be its complexification, and let Ω\Omega be the data defining the examples associated to GG. Denote the resulting HP-algebra and space by AΩA^\Omega and MΩM^\Omega, respectively. Coadjoint-orbit conjecture. The assumption in Example 4.3 always holds; the HP-algebra AΩA^\Omega determines a hyperkähler structure on a dense open subset of MΩM^\Omega; these structures include all the structures of Kronheimer, Biquard, and Kovalev as special cases, while generically they are new and do not coincide with those structures. For some Ω\Omega, MΩM^\Omega is a cone in gI\mathfrak g^*\otimes\mathbb I and AΩA^\Omega is an SGH-algebra, so MΩM^\Omega is a hyperkähler cone; these are the nilpotent orbits of Kronheimer. For every Ω\Omega there is a Ω~\widetilde\Omega such that MΩ~M^{\widetilde\Omega} is a nilpotent orbit, the associated graded H-algebra of AΩA^\Omega is AΩ~A^{\widetilde\Omega}, and the singular hyperkähler manifold MΩM^\Omega has an AC end with asymptotic cone MΩ~M^{\widetilde\Omega}. The conjecture proposes an algebraic description of the coadjoint-orbit hyperkähler metrics constructed by Kronheimer, Biquard, and Kovalev; the supplied context says it was proved for Kronheimer's metrics but remained unproved for the metrics of Biquard and Kovalev.
