Abstract
In this article, we investigate the balanced condition and the existence of an Engliš expansion for the Taub-NUT metrics on \({\mathbb{C}^2}\) . Our first result shows that a Taub-NUT metric on \({\mathbb{C}^2}\) is never balanced unless it is the flat metric. The second one shows that an Engliš expansion of the Rawnsley’s function associated to a Taub-NUT metric always exists, while the coefficient a 3 of the expansion vanishes if and only if the Taub-NUT metric is indeed the flat one.
