    "abstract": "Complete hyperk\\\"ahler 4-manifolds of finite energy are grouped into ALE, ALF, ALG$^{(*)}$, ALH$^{(*)}$, each of these being further classified according to the Dynkin type of their noncompact end. A family of ALG-$D_4$ spaces are modeled by certain moduli spaces of strongly parabolic $\\mathrm{SL}(2,\\mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundles on the Riemann sphere with $n=4$ punctures. Meanwhile, a family of ALE-$D_4$ spaces are modeled by certain Nakajima quiver varieties known as $n=4$ hyperpolygon spaces. There is a map from hyperpolygon space to the moduli space of strong parabolic $\\mathrm{SL}(2,\\mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundles that is a diffeomorphism onto its open and dense image. We show that under a fine-tuned degenerate limit, the pullback of a family of ALG-$D_4$ metrics parameterized by $R$ converges pointwise to the ALE-$D_4$ metric as $R \\to 0$. While the connection to gravitational instantons occurs in the $n=4$ case, we prove our result for any finite $n$.",
