A G_2 Unification of the Deformed and Resolved Conifolds
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We find general first-order equations for G_2 metrics of cohomogeneity one with S^3\times S^3 principal orbits. These reduce in two special cases to previously-known systems of fir…
M-theory Conifolds
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
Seven-manifolds of G_2 holonomy provide a bridge between M-theory and string theory, via Kaluza-Klein reduction to Calabi-Yau six-manifolds. We find first-order equations for a new…
Orientifolds and Slumps in G_2 and Spin(7) Metrics
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We discuss some new metrics of special holonomy, and their roles in string theory and M-theory. First we consider Spin(7) metrics denoted by C_8, which are complete on a complex li…
Cohomogeneity One Manifolds of Spin(7) and G(2) Holonomy
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
In this paper, we look for metrics of cohomogeneity one in D=8 and D=7 dimensions with Spin(7) and G_2 holonomy respectively. In D=8, we first consider the case of principal orbits…
Resolved Branes and M-theory on Special Holonomy Spaces
Mirjam Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We review the construction of regular p-brane solutions of M-theory and string theory with less than maximal supersymmetry whose transverse spaces have metrics with special holonom…
Supersymmetric M3-branes and G_2 Manifolds
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We obtain a generalisation of the original complete Ricci-flat metric of G_2 holonomy on R^4\times S^3 to a family with a non-trivial parameter λ. For generic λthe solution is sing…
Massless 3-brane in M-theory
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We construct supersymmetric M3-brane solutions in D=11 supergravity. They can be viewed as deformations of backgrounds taking the form of a direct product of four-dimensional Minko…
New Cohomogeneity One Metrics With Spin(7) Holonomy
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We construct new explicit non-singular metrics that are complete on non-compact Riemannian 8-manifolds with holonomy Spin(7). One such metric, which we denote by A_8, is complete a…
