Abstract:
We give topological conditions to ensure that a noncollapsed almost Ricci-flat $4$-manifold admits a Ricci-flat metric. One sufficient condition is that the manifold is spin and has a nonzero $\hat A$-genus. Another condition is that the fundamental group is infinite or, more generally, of sufficiently large cardinality.
