Abstract
Let X be a compact 4-manifold with boundary. We study the space of hyperk¨ahler triples ω1, ω2, ω3 on X, modulo diffeomorphisms which are the identity on the boundary. We prove that this moduli space is a smooth infinite-dimensional manifold and describe the tangent space in terms of triples of closed anti-self-dual 2-forms. We also explore the corresponding boundary value problem: a hyperk¨ahler triple restricts to a closed framing of the bundle of 2-forms on the boundary; we identify the infinitesimal deformations of this closed framing that can be filled in to hyperk¨ahler deformations of the original triple. Finally we study explicit examples coming from gravitational instantons with isometric actions of SU(2).
