The large mass limit of $G_2$ and Calabi-Yau monopoles

Abstract

We develop a structure theory for the limit of $SU(2)$ $G_2$-monopoles (resp. Calabi-Yau monopoles) on a principal $SU(2)$-bundle over an asymptotically conical $G_2$-manifolds (resp. Calabi-Yau 3-folds) as the mass parameter tends to infinity, while the topologial data for the bundle stays fixed. We show how to extract a singular abelian $G_2$-monopole (resp. Calabi-Yau monopole) with Dirac singularity along a calibrated cycle in the large mass limit, and we prove an energy identity for monopole bubbles.
