Asymptotic behaviour of SU (2) monopole metric.
We prove estimates for the sectional curvature of hyperkähler quotients and give applications to moduli spaces of solutions to Nahm’s equations and Hitchin’s equations.

We show that the regular Slodowy slice to the sum of two semisimple adjoint orbits of GL(n, ℂ) is isomorphic to the deformation of the D2-singularity if n = 2, the Dancer deformation of the double cover of the Atiyah-Hitchin manifold if n = 3, and to the Atiyah-Hitchin manifold itself if n = 4. For higher n, such slices to the sum of two orbits, each having only two distinct eigenvalues, are either empty or biholomorphic to open subsets of the Hilbert scheme of points on one of the above surfaces....
