Let G be one of the Ricci‐flat holonomy groups SU( n ), Sp( n ), Spin(7) or G 2 , and M a compact manifold of dimension 2 n , 4 n , 8 or 7, respectively. We prove that the natural map from the moduli space of torsion‐free G ‐structures on M to the moduli space of Ricci‐flat metrics is open, and that the image is a smooth manifold. For the exceptional cases G = Spin(7) and G 2 , we extend the result to asymptotically cylindrical manifolds.
