Abstract: We use a new method to construct a class of asymptotically locally flat, scalar flat metrics. These metrics were constructed via algebraic geometry method by LeBrun before and provide counterexamples to the generalized positive action conjecture of Hawking and Pope.

Key words: scalar curvature, Eguchi-Hanson metric, generalized positive action conjecture
